A misconduct panel has imposed an indefinite teaching ban on Dale Wills, a former music teacher at Marlborough College.

It found that Wills, 42, ‘made inappropriate comments and failed to maintain professional boundaries’. He exchanged 7,000 Microsoft Teams messages with two pupils and ‘ingrained himself’ into their lives.

A spokesman for Wills said he lacked sufficient support and guidance in his job.

  • LP says:

    I can think of a few others who also ought to get this ban.

  • Robert says:

    Completing a student’s assignment and giving it an “A”?
    Buying “vaping” for another student?

    Yes, professional boundaries have been crossed.
