A TEACHER has been asked to leave a school after he was videoed stripping in front of a shocked class of teenagers.

The middle-aged supply teacher, working at Sudbury Upper School, was sent home on the orders of education bosses after the incident, video of which has been posted on YouTube.

As surprised students at the Suffolk school cheered and laughed, the English teacher performed the impromptu strip.

The footage, taken by a pupil using her mobile phone, shows the bespectacled, bearded teacher unbuttoning his shirt and then going topless and flexing his muscles in front of the hysterical class.

But while the act went down a storm in front of pupils who egged him on, it has not found favour with education chiefs who took immediate disciplinary action.

Education authority Suffolk County Council said the man was asked to leave the school and the agency which supplied him informed.

“It is not the case that children were put at any risk,” said a council spokesman. “But the school felt his behaviour inappropriate.”

Neither the teacher nor the agency he works for have been named.

The teacher was unavailable for comment.
