Police and education officials are today investigating

allegations surrounding the latest scandal at Headlands School

in Bridlington.

A 25-year-old female member of the teaching staff at the

1,415 pupil Sewerby Road school is being investigated over

claims she sent inappropriate text messages to a male

student.

The unnamed member of staff, from Bridlington, was arrested

and bailed pending further police inquiries, after she was

suspended from the controversial school.

As first reported on the Mail's website yesterday, the

suspension of the female member of the teaching staff is the

latest scandal to hit the school.

Today, a police spokeswoman said: “We are aware of the

allegations and have launched an investigation in conjunction

with East Riding Council.

“A 25-year-old Bridlington woman has been arrested and

released on police bail pending further inquiries.

“Further details about the allegations made against the

woman will not be released at this stage, due to the ongoing

investigation.”

The Beverley-based council also refused to go into any

details about the case, which first became public knowledge

yesterday.
