The long-serving head of music at Bishop’s Stortford College in Hertfordshire has been banned for life from teaching after a tribunal found him guilty of touching boys for sexual gratification.

Andrew Bruce, 64, taught at the school from 1986 to 2018, when the issue was first raised.

The incidents occurred on overseas trips. The tribunal noted that Bruce showed no remorse for his actions.

    I don’t know whether boy touching is a fun discipline but it definitely sounds like high jump or grass hockey.
