Ex-deputy head teacher banned from teaching over indecent images
The Teaching Regulation Agency panel described his behaviour and conviction as "extremely serious".
Their report said: "The aggravating features are the age and vulnerability of the children, that there was discernible pain and distress and that they were moving images." The panel noted Swinnerton had been "frank and forthcoming when first approached by the police" and had admitted guilt. But public confidence in the teaching profession "would be seriously weakened if conduct such as that found against Mr Swinnerton were not treated with the utmost seriousness", they said.The National Crime Agency said Swinnerton, who was arrested at his home in May 2020, used the dark web to access the images and had 87 videos in the most serious category on a laptop.
