Married Deputy Head at All-Girls' School Fired for Secret Affair with Art Teacher

A married deputy headteacher at Ribston Hall High School in Gloucestershire had a secret two-year affair with an art teacher, locking themselves in school cupboards for their encounters. Liyarna Beamish, 39, and Gareth Collins, 45, were both banned from teaching for their actions.

The relationship was discovered when explicit messages between them were found. Mrs. Beamish admitted to having sex with Mr. Collins during and after school hours. Both were dismissed from their positions in July 2024.

Despite claims of emotional manipulation, the panel found both teachers guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. Mrs. Beamish defended herself, stating she took precautions to avoid being seen. They cannot reapply to the teaching register for two years.

Ribston Hall is a state-funded grammar school for girls aged 11-16, with notable former pupils including actress Christina Baily, Olympic rower Beth Rodford, and singer Nathan Sykes.
