Judith Ramsdale, a 44-year-old married science teacher, has been suspended after another student saw her having sex on a desk with another teacher at the school. Ramsdale, 44, and head of chemistry Paul Bland, 42, had sex while students were on a revision day.
According to reports, the unidentified student allegedly caught the teachers, who are both married, in the act after being asked to retrieve material from the school’s English department. Ramsdale and Bland have been suspended while the Haslingden School in Rossendale, Lancashire, conducts an investigation.
Ramsdale is a former English teacher who lives in Chorley, Lancashire, with her husband John, 42, who is also an assistant teacher at a different school.
