A disgraced headteacher who defrauded the school where he taught of more than £100,000, was struck off by the Teaching Regulation Agency. The pervert was convicted of fraud and misconduct in public office for offences between 2011 and 2014, and was jailed for four years in October 2017.
James Stewart used funds to purchase sex toys and had drunken romps in a “sex dungeon” alongside his office has been banned from teaching for life. He also frittered away school funds on a monthly wine club and hotel bars. The deranged elderly man has ruined his career and everything he worked for, after using school cash to convert his office into an x-rated lair designed for trysts with his married secretary. The school had been left in “serious financial difficulty”, “not least because of the activities of its former head which included building a sex dungeon alongside his office for his private use”.
A Teaching Regulation Agency panel concluded in a report published on Friday that the decision to ban Stewart indefinitely from teaching was “proportionate”. The report said: “Whilst Mr Stewart previously had a good record, the panel found no evidence that the teacher’s actions were not deliberate, nor was he acting under duress.

“In fact, the panel found the teacher’s actions to be calculated, motivated and sustained for a number of years.”
Stewart, who was executive principal at Sawtry Village Academy in Cambridgeshire until 2014 became the subject of an investigation by The Department Of Education into his running of the school. The sex den was uncovered when a roofing contractor spotted a large purple vibrator through the office skylight.
Sex toys, cards depicting various Kama Sutra acts, a game called “saucy charades” and shelves stacked with booze were also uncovered. During Stewart’s sentencing, school manager Peter Evans claimed the sounds emanating from office were like “the Benny Hill show” as the head chased his PA around the office.Stewart habitually disappeared for hours on end or entire days.
