Married headmaster caught on CCTV romping in office with colleague for 4hrs as chaos broke out at school

A MARRIED school head was caught on CCTV having a four-hour romp in his office.

Adam Price, 40, admitted stripping off before having sex with a female colleague — while several fights were breaking out and staff were being attacked in his school.

The secret affair was exposed a month later, in February 2020, when anonymous letters were sent to the school.

The notes questioned the behaviour of Mr Price and the other staff member, identified only as Person B, a disciplinary panel was told.

Mr Price was suspended and immediately resigned.

But yesterday he dodged a teaching ban and can continue in his new job as a senior education consultant.

An attempt to keep his identity a secret was rejected.

Mr Price was executive headteacher at Northern House School Academy Trust in Wolverhampton.

Duncan Tilley, who chaired the Teaching Regulation Agency hearing in Coventry, revealed one of the letters questioned what the two had been doing during the day in Price’s office.

He said: “A review of CCTV footage for January 27, 2020 revealed that Mr Price and Person B had been engaging in sexual activities.”

Mr Tilley added: “Mr Price admitted that he and Person B were together in his office for much of the working day — approximately 3hrs 50mins.

“The panel heard on that on the same day here had been three assaults on staff and four fights between pupils.”

Mr Price also admitted he had breached the school’s relationships at work policy.

Mr Tilley added: “The panel noted Mr Price’s insight into his misconduct. He expressed remorse that appeared to the panel to be genuine.

“The devastating impact that his conduct had had on him and his family led the panel to conclude that the risk of repetition was low.”
