The credit crunch is hitting everyone at the moment, but if you’re going to steal from your employers, buying a patio for your garden probably wouldn’t be top of the list for many…
A deputy head teacher who stole thousands of pounds from a special needs school to buy a new patio for his garden and give himself a payrise has been struck off the teaching register.
Simon Hann, 42, conspired with head teacher Keith Davis, 51, to plunder ?70,000 from Sundridge School near Portsmouth, over a period of four years.
The pair gained the money by making false expense claims and rewarded themselves with cash bonuses to make improvements to their homes.
