A 29-year-old maths teacher, Rowan Barnicoat, is struck off following an incident at a staff Christmas party, according to reports. Colleagues allegedly saw him remove two bags of “white powder” from a suitcase on the night of the party. The reports say he then snorted the substance through a £5 note while others were present. The accounts describe the incident as being witnessed by fellow staff members, which led to disciplinary action. The decision results in the teacher being struck off, removing his right to teach in the future, as reported. The information presented in these reports focuses on what colleagues observed at the party and the subsequent professional outcome. The articles provide limited additional detail about any formal findings beyond the striking off, the teacher’s response, or whether the substance was confirmed through testing in the public reports.
