A PE teacher in Portsmouth, Stuart Smith, is banned from teaching after incidents involving messages and comments to a pupil at Mayville High School. According to reports, Smith sent the pupil a series of messages and also told her she was “Premier League,” wording that is described in coverage alongside allegations that he physically “rubbed” the pupil. The BBC reports that the case involved a string of messages sent to the pupil. The Mirror adds that the teacher made the “Premier League” comment to the pupil and that the incident included “rubbing.” The accounts agree on the key elements of the case: Smith is the teacher involved, the events relate to a pupil at Mayville High School in Portsmouth, and the outcome is a ban from the profession. The reporting indicates the ban is linked to concerns about Smith’s conduct toward a child, including both the messaging and the described physical contact.
