The United Kingdom's Teaching Regulatory Authority has banned Daniel Usher-Clarke, a teacher who worked in two secondary schools in Taunton, in Somerset, England, after finding him guilty of "unacceptable behaviour" with three students. Usher-Clarke sent inappropriate messages and made comments with sexual overtones to the three people who studied at the schools where Usher-Clarke worked. As per local media reports, Usher-Clarke was associated with Taunton's Castle School and Bishop Fox's School. The case was being investigated by a TRA panel following complaints of inappropriate behaviour. The panel, chaired by Diarmuid Bunting, concluded that Usher-Clarke “fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession”.They will prohibit Usher-Clarke from "teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England”.Also read: As he was found guilty, he will not be allowed to appeal the ban for at least five years - i.e. in 2029. “The panel has made a recommendation to the Secretary of State that Mr Daniel Usher-Clark should be the subject of a prohibition order, with a review period of five years,” the TRA ruling noted.Taunton has 12 schools that serve around 8,018 students with a team of approximately 556 full-time equivalent teachers, creating a student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1. Additionally, there are 27 full-time school counselors supporting the student body.
