A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting remotely 27, 28 and 29 January 2025, has found allegations of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ proved against school teacher, Morgan Jones.

The Fitness to Practise Committee found the following allegations proven, that whilst employed as a school teacher at Ysgol Rhiwabon, Mr Jones acted in an inappropriate manner, in that Mr Jones:

1. on or around 13 March 2023, told Learner 1:
   1. he was a “tramp”
   2. that he “should go back to the special class”, or words to that effect
2. on or around 15 March 2023:
   1. in response to Learner 2 referring to Mr Jones as a “nugget”, bent over and shouted close to Learner 2’s face and told him to “Shut your face” or words to that effect
   2. referred to Learner 3 as a “freak”, or words to the effect

The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Reprimand on Mr Jones’ registration as a school teacher for a period of 2 years (from 29 January 2025 to 29 January 2027). As such, Mr Jones will be able to work as a registered person (school teacher) in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in Wales for the period of the Reprimand.

Mr Jones has the right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
