A primary school teacher in Hanworth who inappropriately touched a boy's shoulders, back and arms, repeatedly has been struck off the teaching register.

Adam Wieder, 30, who was employed at Oriel Primary School on Hounslow Road, Hanworth, which has since changed its name to Oriel Academy West London, has been banned from the classroom for at least five years following a prohibition order, in a decision made on behalf of education secretary Nicky Morgan, by the National College for Teaching and Leadership.

Mr Wieder who qualified as a teacher in 2006 denied all allegations at the hearing on November 12, but after considering the evidence, the panel found he had abused a position of trust by wrongly touching a male pupil on several occasions.

They also found he was in breach of a final written warning from the school in October 2009 following inappropriate physical contact with a Year 6 child, before the fresh new allegations were made against him in 2010.

Adam Wieder resigned shortly after he was suspended by the school's governors in 2010 for "behaving in an over familiar manner towards a pupil" and has never returned to the school, said Principal Matthew Read of Oriel Academy West London

Mr Read added: 2It is only now that the case has been concluded that the school can comment on it.

"The safety of children at Oriel Academy West London is, and has always been the top priority for its governors and staff.

"We feel vindicated that a tribunal has found that the swift action the school took four years ago to challenge this unprofessional behaviour was correct and that we prevented it from developing into anything more serious."

The panel did find a number of allegations were not proven which included wrapping himself around the boy to show him how to butter bread and resting his body against his back; placing his hands around the pupils leg and groin area while fitting a climbing harness on and stroking his hair, as well as giving special attention and preferential treatment.

Witnesses called to give evidence included the headteacher and two other members of teaching staff from the school.

Decision maker Paul Heathcote said: "There is a clear public interest in protecting pupils from harm, maintaining public confidence in the profession and declaring and upholding proper standards of conduct.

"Mr Wieder has shown a lack of self awareness and insight into the inappropriate nature and impact of his actions.

"The panel are of the view that there is an ongoing risk of the behaviour being repeated.

"In all the circumstances I agree that a prohibition order is an appropriate and proportionate sanction.

"I agree that Mr Wieder should be granted provision to apply to have the order set aside after 5 years have passed."

This means Mr Wieder is banned from teaching in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.

However, he may apply for the prohibition order to be set aside but not until November 12, 2019, where a panel will consider whether he remains barred from teaching or not.

Mr Wieder has 28 days to appeal to the High Court.
