MIDLANDS PAEDOPHILE TEACHER BANNED FROM TEACHING
A paedophile teacher has been banned from the profession after admitting sick sexual offences involving what he thought was a child.Nicholas Saxon, 29, worked as a science teacher at The Wordsley School, in the West Midlands, when he was apprehended by police.
He later admitted to an offence involving someone he thought was an underage girl.
Despite admitting to the offence, Saxon avoided a stint in jail and walked from Wolverhampton Crown Court with a community order.
Now a professional conduct panel has made him the subject of a prohibition order, which bans him from teaching.
The order, issued by the Teaching Regulation Agency means he cannot teach in any school sixth-form college, relevant youth accommodation, or children's home in England, reports The Mirror.
Saxon pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and one count of attempting to cause or incite a female child under 13 to engage in sexual activity between February 17 and 20 last year at Wolverhampton Crown Court in March 2025.
Saxon was handed a two-year community order, with a 55-day rehabilitation activity requirement and a four-month alcohol treatment requirement.
He must remain on the sex offenders register for five years and was made subject to a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
He was also ordered to pay £150 costs and a £114 victim surcharge, the panel heard.
A professional conduct panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency has now said he breached teaching standards and his actions amounted to misconduct.
The panel described his offending as being "extremely serious." Saxon had been employed at the school from September 2024 and was fired in April, 2025.
He was arrested on February 24 by West Midlands Police and was charged the next day with the incident being referred to the agency three days later.
The panel heard how Saxon admitted to two sex offences at the court in March 2025.
"The panel noted that Saxon's actions were relevant to teaching, working with children and working in an education setting, given that the offences he was convicted of involved children," a report from the panel read.
"The panel noted that the behaviour involved in committing the offence could have an impact on the safety and/or security of pupils and/or members of the public The panel also took account of the way the teaching profession is viewed by others.
The panel considered that Saxon's behaviour in committing the offence could affect public confidence in the teaching profession, given the influence that teachers may have on pupils, parents and others in the community." The report added: "The panel noted that they have no material evidence of insight or remorse and no evidence that Saxon would not proceed to commit similar misconduct in the future were he allowed to continue teaching." According to court documents, Saxon's offences involved a UCOL - a term used to describe an undercover police officer.
