A teacher at a £56,000-a-year boarding school is banned from teaching after authorities say he did not disclose that his fiancé is a registered child sex offender.
Both outlets report that Thomas Ridgway worked at Heathfield School in Ascot and is accused of failing to inform his employer about his engagement to someone with convictions. The reporting says he was required to make the disclosure, and that his omission was treated as a serious breach of safeguarding expectations.
The two articles present the same basic account: Ridgway’s professional status is affected not only by his work but by what authorities say he did not declare to his school. The coverage focuses on the disclosure failure and notes the fiancé’s status as a registered child sex offender, while offering limited additional detail on the disciplinary process or the specific safeguarding rules cited by the decision-maker.
