Christian is banned from teaching for misgendering a trans pupil 'in first case of its kind in UK'

 Christian is banned from teaching for misgendering a trans pupil 'in first case of its kind in UK' - but he defiantly vows to appeal after saying he is 'devastated' by ruling

• Teacher Joshua Sutcliffe, 33, found guilty of 'misgendering' a transgender pupil 
• It was ruled the Christian teacher failed to treat pupil with 'dignity and respect'  
• The former maths teacher praised a group of pupils by saying: 'Well done girls' 
  
  
  

• In 2017, Mr Sutcliffe was suspended and subsequently left the school after he praised a group of pupils by saying 'well done girls' – claiming later this was not deliberate and that he apologised straight away. He later took legal action against the school for constructive dismissal and discrimination.

  The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) concluded it was 'more probable than not' that he addressed the transgender pupil with female pronouns in other instances during his time at the school between 2015 and 2018 – which he denies.

  Mr Sutcliffe said he is 'devastated' by the ruling and plans to appeal.
