Ex-Repton School teacher Simon Clague, 57, was jailed for seven years and 11 months last year.

During his sentencing hearing at Derby Crown Court, three women said Clague - who admitted eight counts of indecent assault and one of gross indecency - had betrayed their trust and affected both their schooling and adult lives.In a statement after the sentencing, Repton School said it was "profoundly sorry that the school failed to protect this man's victims", adding any former pupils looking to contact the institution "will be taken extremely seriously".

In its report, the TRA said Clague "groomed the pupils for his own sexual pleasure", adding his actions were "calculated and motivated". It added a prohibition order with no review period "is necessary to maintain public confidence and is proportionate and in the public interest". "His behaviour fundamentally breached the standard of conduct expected of a teacher, and he exploited his position of trust," it said.
