The headteacher of King Solomon High School in Redbridge, Jo Shuter, has been banned from teaching after abusing expenses in a previous role.

Ms Shuter admitted a number of allegations of inappropriate claims, including £7,000 for a 50th birthday party, while head of the Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in London before a teaching standards panel last month.

Education Secretary Michael Gove has now accepted the panel’s recommendation that she be struck off.

In a letter to King Solomon’s parents today, the governors said that they “had no choice but to suspend Ms Shuter from her role as headteacher with immediate effect. Ms Shuter has 28 days to lodge an appeal against this decision” .
