Teacher did not disclose partner was sex offender

The report also detailed how Surr arranged for a vulnerable pupil – referred to as Pupil A – to tidy up her garden at an empty property with no other adult present.

“The panel found that risks associated with gardening existed, in addition to the risks associated with handling dog faeces,” the report said.

“It is not clear from the evidence whether Miss Surr had a plan in place to assist Pupil A in the event that a risk or injury materialise.”

The report stated Surr paid the pupil £10 for the gardening.

The panel found Surr “deliberately concealed” her partner was a registered sex offender and that she had “inappropriately arranged” for a student to visit her home and tidy her garden for payment.

Surr was banned by the panel from teaching indefinitely, which means she cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.

She may apply for the prohibition order to be set aside, but not until 10 July 2029, three years from the date of this order at the earliest, it said.

A spokesperson for Aston Community Education Trust said: “The academy and trust take safeguarding extremely seriously and cooperated fully with the TRA investigation throughout.

“The individual concerned is no longer employed by the academy. As this is a personnel matter, we will not be commenting further.”
