General Teaching Council ban former Shildon teacher from classroom

Mark Walker Mark Walker

A TEACHER and British National Party activist was yesterday banned from the classroom after using school computers to send a vulnerable 16-year-old former pupil a sexually explicit message.

The General Teaching Council found that Mark Walker sent the girl emails while working at Sunnydale Community College, in Shildon, County Durham, in 2007.

A Professional Conduct Committee heard that in one email, he used language understood to mean that he wanted to have sex with the girl.

The committee found that after Mr Walker was suspended from the school, he contacted colleagues about the disciplinary process, resulting in a demonstration taking place outside the school.

During the demonstration, his supporters said he was a good teacher who did not take politics into the classroom.

However, the committee found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct and banned him from teaching.

“Mr Walker refers to ‘one suspect email’. However, the committee has noted that the language used in several of the emails was highly inappropriate.”

Committee chairman Wayne Jones

Mr Walker, who stood as BNP candidate for Sedgefield, County Durham, in the 2010 General Election, was suspended by the school in March 2007 and dismissed in December 2008.

Committee chairman Wayne Jones said: “We have heard evidence that the pupil concerned was particularly vulnerable as she had psychological problems and that staff had been made aware of this in April 2006.

“Mr Walker admits that he engaged in an email exchange with the pupil concerned and that this exchange was inappropriate.

“Mr Walker refers to ‘one suspect email’. However, the committee has noted that the language used in several of the emails was highly inappropriate.”

Mr Jones said the committee also took into consideration that Mr Walker had told the girl he hoped she was deleting the emails which, he said, confirmed that he knew what he was doing was wrong.

Mr Walker of Rievaulx, Spennymoor, told The Northern Echo that he accepted his behaviour was inappropriate, but felt that he was being persecuted because of his political beliefs.

He said there were cases of teachers behaving worse than him but staying in the profession, and that he never taught the girl or had any physical contact with her.

Mr Walker has 28 days to appeal to the High Court, which he said he was considering.

lol - you've got to be well fick to think being a teacher using a school computer to proposition a 16yr old prior student is OK, right? ...but then, he also thinks the BNP is OK ;o)

I think you will find the email went to a seventeen year old 'former' pupil so no law broken there. Many teachers keep in touch with former pupils. Some even marry them. This is nothing other than a witch hunt by common purpose trained puppets and members of the Labour Party. If we want to start pointing the finger why dont we take a look at the Labour25. It makes for far more interesting reading.

If the reporting is mistaken you should challenge it directly, it clearly states "a vulnerable (and qualifies this) 16 year old.

I think you'll find that the disciplinary inquiry at his tribunal for unfair dismissal revealed a large number of emails indicating a sexual relationship with this 17-year-old former pupil.

Legal or not, I see it as an abuse of his position of trust - I'm sure that you'd argue that you'd be happy for your 17yr old daughter to be sleeping with a 39yr old ex-teacher, right?

Adam Walker says...
5:19pm Thu 3 Nov 11

Moochas.... I was at the tribunal and there were not a large number of emails indicating any sort of relationship at all. Mark Walker did not have a sexual relationship with any ex student. If he had, it would have been mentioned at the tribunal and it was not. Mark Walker received a letter from the Safguarding Authority which clearly stated that he was no risk to children. Strange that before any allegations were made, a meeting was held at the school by Unison during his suspension calling for him to be sacked because of his political beliefs. And this whole incident isnt politically motivated. Do you hear of meetings held in other places of work calling for people to be sacked for what they believe in? I ask you.... Who are the real Fascists?

i do not agree with his conduct but people are saying he is a danger to his students and this is only the tip of the iceberg, i am a former student of his could not fault his teaching skills or his CONDUCT, he had done wrong and he has admitted it, is it really nessasery to try and damage his name for acts he has not committed??!!

Is that a veteran's pin in his lapel? Shame on him for what he has done and shame on him for the slur he puts onto the uniformed services.

Mr Walker - people do not send their children to school to be perved at by older males in authority! You are guilty of unprofessional behaviour - teachers should maintain a professional distance from their students at all times!

Thankfully higher standards are expected from teachers than those of 'sex mad squaddies!'

What he has committed is enough, as a Teacher, to ruin his reputation on this alone!

There is something extremely worrying about a 39 year old man, let alone a Teacher, who this report says " sent a vulnerable 16-year-old former pupil a sexually explicit message".... and on a school PC, I mean what?? how can that ever be justified?. The real danger is not only that he did it but that he and his brother can see nothing wrong in that??

If Mark's emails had sexually explicit contents in it to a 17 year old former pupil then why not reproduce those emails with the article? It would back up the claim, but no email was has been produced.

Did you notice the size of Mark's photo compaired to say, Raul Moat's when the echo produced it!

Just because the email hasn't been printed doesn't mean to say it didn't exist PM, surely you can grasp that idea. Throughout every process Mr Walker has experienced he has been judged on evidence, not rumour and you personally not seeing it does not diminish its validity in any way! Seems to me any trouble that the BNP members get into is being brushed off a Politicly motivated which is a bit spineless really. Mr Walker you have had fair hearings throughout and you have been found out not vindicated. For goodness sake next you will be taking this higher claiming YOUR human rights have been denied? My thoughts are with this poor girl not Mr Walker.

With not seeing the email I can only go by what Mark has told me what was in it and nothîng was sexually explicit in it according to Mark.

If any anti-BNPers can provide me with the said email and prove me wrong, please do

Im not anti-BNP, and I don't need to prove you wrong. It was Mark who needed to to do that with the relevant professional bodies and he failed to do that. They are the ones who saw the evidence and gave their findings. It makes no odds to me who accepts it as wrong, they are arguing with the wrong people. I am just happy this individual has been banned from Teaching children.

Sinn Fein was regarded as the political wing of the IRA. The BNP and UKIP are two completely separate, independent political parties.

I can see why those who view politics through red spectacles, such as yourself, try this nonsense on - par for the Labour course to attack everyone who doesn't agree - but a bit of honesty would be welcome in these debates.

Regarding this thread, who knows what the truth is?
.
If Unison did call a meeting to try and get him sacked for his political beliefs, then that is wrong in my view. Is it not also the case that the council involved the NSPCC in this? How many times has the council done this to a public employee over the years? I wonder....once?
.
Who knows, but I suspect his politics have played a large part in the authorities actions against him.

The former pupil in now in her twenties. Strange that she made no allegations and remained silent. She could have made a fortune IF she received 'sexually explicit' emails. Where are these emails? Everything else has been uncovered except the emails.
Prime Minister David Cameron and Education Secretary, Michael Gove have both said BNP teachers WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. How convenient for them!

They have no political axe to grind? Are you sure about that? If a trade union is prepared to try and get someone sacked for their politics (which is totally outside their remit as a union) what makes you think these other organisations are always beyond reproach?
.
There is often examples of standards committees recommending dismissal (e.g. police, health etc) which are then appealed and overturned. Who knows whether Mr Walker will appeal or not, or whether there are cases of teachers who have behaved worse but still allowed to remain in the profession, or whether this mistake of his should result in the end of his teaching career; we shall see.

Thats the funniest thing I have ever read...because she has been "silent", not gone to the national rags (assuming they would be interested of course) and made a fortune then this is proof that there were no emails?? Now then Melanie, why would your beloved Mr Walker ask this vulnerable 16yr old girl to ensure she deleted these emails?

Personally I don't give two hoots what political party Mark Walker belongs too. But as a former teacher I can assure the readers of this email that Mr Walker would know that behaviour of this nature by a teacher who is in a position of trust is not acceptable with any child. He would also know that contact of this nature with any young person, is not acceptable until they have reached adulthood at the age of 18 years. This girl was 17 years and in the eyes of the law, still a minor.

under the children act of 1989 and 2004 a person is classed as a child until they are 18. He clear breached his position of trust and yes teachers and students keep in contact but they keep it to a proffessional level not a sexual one. He would have also sent the emails knowing full well they were monitired and a copy of all them stored, as this a legal requirment under the data protection act for establishments to keep a full record of all information exchanged within there IT systems. He shouldn't use his political party to cover up the truth. If the school hadn't taken action, Durham Local Education Authority would have done in the end. All staff are made aware of the what the IT resources are used for and what policy are in place upon joining the establishment, as well as being told that all activity is logged.

How many more time does it need saying??? "we" don't need to see the email because its nothing to do with the public. The email was produced to the people who matter and who are charged with the task of judging his Professional competence (or clearly lack of), end of! The case has been put to rest, its the followers of this "man" who blame everyone else BUT him for his situation.

Oh I see, so the only people that get to see the emails are the the GTC and the witness (his head teacher). The very ones who wanted rid of him. How convenient.

Seriously though, your point is a fair one, as the line has to be drawn somewhere. But if no physical relationship occurred then I just question whether it is right that his career should be ended, given the age of the girl. It is right that disciplinary action should have been taken against him, but has his politics played a part in the severity of the sentence?

Mr Walker "said there were cases of teachers behaving worse than him but staying in the profession".

This is true at the school I attended there was a drama teacher who was transferred to my after having a sexual relationship with a pupil. There was a female P.E. teacher who was caught on a number of occassions by pupils having sex with other teachers.

A female geography teacher used to date former pupils. A male English teacher transferred to a Darlington school after his interest in child photography was revealed. Whilst the ony teacher to be prosecuted for anything was a male woodwork teacher who was caught stealing money to fund his gambling.

The GTC is independent to the school and the people on the board will have never met mr walker before, so it's hard to believe that they could have wanted rid of someone they had never even met!! In regards to the emails they will most likely never be disclosed, as they are protected by the data protection act and the school can only disclose them by law to legal officials. The emails will all exists as it is a legal requirement for schools to archive all emails sent and received by staff and students using a school email account. In reality the emails are real just, non of will get to see them due to legal reasons.

if this is the case it sounds like they used him as an example however just cos others got away with stuff, doesnt mean he shouldnt, it means the others should have. his bnp status probably ment he got a harsher sentence but it doesnt condone what he did. like it says in reports he asked her to delete the messages etc. he knew what he was doing was wrong. other teachers shud be punished similarly if they doing same

I wonder if we can knock this on the head once and for all?
.
Mark Walker was not sacked because of the emails, nor because he was a member of the BNP, but because of his sickness record. Following the NSPCC investigation, he was invited to a number of hearings to put his side of the story, but did not attend because he was ill – depressed or stressed. Eventually, having followed all the correct procedures, the school dismissed him because he had been off sick for too long.
.
He then took his case to an Employment Tribunal. The presiding judge, Andrew Buchanan, said his illness was triggered by his own actions – “If he had not acted in the way that he did towards that former pupil, he would not have had reason to be stressed and anxious and he would not have become ill.” He said Mark’s “culpable and blameworthy conduct contributed to his dismissal to the extent of 100 per cent” and that “he was the author of his own unfortunate illness”.
.
The GTC has now agreed with the NSPCC and the tribunal judge that the emails were “highly inappropriate,” and that “there is sufficient evidence from the emails and from previous matters concerning his professional conduct to conclude that Mr Walker’s behaviour has resulted in his conduct being less than one would expect of a teacher placed in a position of trust.”
.
No-one, so far, has revealed the content of those emails except Mark’s erstwhile ally, Kevin Scott, former North East Organiser for the BNP, who now runs a website which he has ironically titled “Civil Liberty.” Great sense of humour for a fascist! This is what he wrote on the website:
.
“Patrick Harrington and Civil Liberty director, Kevin Scott, agreed that Mark Walker should have his day in court in order to clear his name. As a result, Civil Liberty agreed to partially fund Mark Walker's case after he was dismissed from his teaching job for his sickness record in December 2008.

At the subsequent Employment Tribunal in Newcastle, the sexually explicit emails were read to the court and despite Pat Harrington's best efforts to expose the duplicity and connivance of the school authorities, trade unions and local council in Mark Walker's persecution, the case was lost. At the end of one of the emails, Mark Walker, a married man with a young daughter who appears on BNP publicity material as a contented family man, had written: "I love to f u c k!"

Later, Kevin Scott was asked by Patrick Harrington to give evidence on behalf of Mark Walker at a GTC hearing which would determine his future as a teacher. Kevin Scott declined.

Civil Liberty stands by its campaign to protect Mark Walker's right to free association and free speech, but withdrew its support once the Employment Tribunal was lost earlier this year.”
.
I have always argued that Mark was innocent until proven guilty. He has now been comprehensively proven guilty. I have also argued that we do not need this sort of scandal to expose the BNP for what it is – a racist, neo-Nazi organisation.
.
BNP supporters who try to defend Mark are doing him no favours. The suggestion that the school, the NSPCC, the GTC and the Employment Tribunal judge are all part of a politically- motivated “witch-hunt” is frankly ludicrous.
.
I personally find Mark’s conduct revolting and creepy, and I am glad he can no longer teach. But, as he has always said, he has not broken the law. Should he not now be left to fade quietly into obscurity, and pick up the pieces of his life?

You seem to have forgot to mention the fact that the school had asked mark to show evidence that he was ill in the form of a sick note and he refused to. So no wonder they sacked him!. They do legal have every right to ask for evidence of sickness when you are off for a long period of time and he simply refused to give them it. So it's his own fault he got the sack in the end.

Take away the name and politics you are then left with a teacher who sent inappropriate e-mails to a pupil at the school. Pete W has given a good pre-amble eg independant NSPCC report and the circumstances around his sacking. How many parents would want their teenage daughters to be taught by this teacher. The GTC was right in their judgement, however he can appeal.

Peter Winstanly has, for me, summed it up exactly and, as my last comment, I would like to express my sympathy to this creeps wife and family.
Oh dear, oh dear. Talks about childish games and then says 'get yourself out for a change and try and find a friend' and 'It must be awfully lonely in your little bedsit'. How childish. . By the way, listen to your new girlfriend, this is not a 'debate' (or a forum) it's a comments section. Abuse may be on its way to you very soon. . Mooochas. No...stop. Listen to Pete W, it's time to stop stalking and knock this one on the head. . Go on then, reply. The same reply. Several times over. It's funny.
Lol - Dean M - "So you're one of those few that aren't buying it then?" * 'those few' - you're such an idiot. You’re so arrogant that you assume everyone else is as gullible as you having fallen for the pathetic BNP mitigation. * No, I'd venture that 'most of us' are still not buying it - not since the start. Why don't you try and pretend that you weren't a complete mug in the first place - your usual denial nonsense ;o)
Yep, as expected, the same old 'you're an idiot' moronic chant. Funny.
.
You click 'quote' and then refer to a sentence that isn't there. Clever.
.
I see my 'You're one of those few...' comment went right over your head, sweetheart. And you start waffling on about 'most of us' blah, blah.
.
Really, mooochas, you should read things properly, and you must try harder.
Lol - more denial. More hair-splitting. The additional quoted drivel was added on purpose, you idiot ;o)
*
But, I meant, I meant... of course you did. That's why you were kissing up to your BNP friends suggesting that Judy Moorhouse may have corrupted the jury and perverted the outcome of the hearing.
*
'try harder'? you should try less - you're fooling nobody ;o)

What? - no more excuses? ...I doubt it'll last

Whatever. I'm done with this thread and with you ...again ;o)

Have fun talking to yourself ;o)

What - disappointed that I didn't reply as quickly as you'd like? So now you're done with the thread. Diddums.
.
You're still unable to read, 'cos there's no denial from me in my last comment. You make it up as you go along. 'The additional quoted drivel...' yeah, yeah, of course it was.
.
You obviously still haven't 'got' my 'one of those few' comment, so you come out, as usual, with a load of other nonsense to try and cover yourself. It's only yourself you're fooling, daft girl.

Samantha Fox was 16 when she first appeared on page 3 of The Sun. Any man who says he wouldn't respond to an email from her (not that it was invented then) is either a liar or a homosexual. Please don't twist about him grooming this 16/17 (depending which Echo article you read) year old former pupil because he never taught her and never even met up with her. That's probably why he is only banned for 2 years. Another important fact omitted from the above article.

If what drit drat says is true, he is only banned for 2 years, what school would employ him as a teacher?
