Peter Godfrey was employed as a class teacher from September 2012 at the now closed White House School until the police arrested and interviewed him in May 2020.
Godfrey, 58, has been prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England, the Teaching Regulation Agency has decided.
The Secretary of State for Education in confirming that decision also decided that he will not be entitled to apply for restoration of his eligibility to teach.
Panel members Dr Martin Coles, Mrs Bev Williams and Mr Dara Islam were told that Godfrey had admitted the charges against him and had been sentenced.
These included convictions in June 2022 at Staffordshire Magistrates Court on three counts of making indecent images of children.
He was also convicted of possession of having extreme pornography, possessing prohibited images of children.
