WEST Kirby grammar school has been blasted for expelling a student over “malicious” claims he and  his girlfriend engaged in sexual activity  inside a storeroom and pupil toilet.

After a panel quashed the decision of West  Kirby Grammar School to permanently  exclude her son, Trevor, Honora Evans said the school’s  “botched” practices had taken away his right  to an education and she is now considering  taking legal advice.

Headteacher Glenice Robinson sent a letter  dated November 14 to Mrs Evans’ home in  Meols informing of her decision to  permanently exclude Trevor for what she  termed “two acts of sexual activity”. in a sixth form block - one in a  storeroom and another in a toilet cubicle.

Just 10 days earlier, she had written to Mrs  Evans saying both Trevor and his girlfriend  Hayley – both aged 16 at the time – had been  asked to leave the school following their  alleged antics in October.

But she had stressed both students had  been treated in the same way and pledged to  supply a supportive reference.

The decision to expel Trevor was later  backed by governors.

However, furious that her son had been  asked to leave within 48 hours of the  allegations coming to light and without a full  investigation, Mrs Evans launched an appeal  against the school’s decision.

The  appeal ruled the school had not  followed proper procedures and its evidence  failed to prove the allegations.

Promising trumpet player Trevor, now 17,  vehemently denies the allegations and said he  merely followed Hayley into the communal  toilet block as she was upset.

He said, while she was inside the cubicle,  he consoled her from outside and it was at this  point other female pupils walked in.

He said: “I am glad justice has been done  and I just want to go back to school and  resume my studies. Having to explain your sex life to three middle-aged women was dreadful.”

Mrs Evans said the whole experience had  been a nightmare. and her son, who will start his A-levels again at a different school in September had lost a year of his life. She added: “This was a  vindictive campaign hatched by some girls at  the school who posted malicious rumours  about him on Facebook.

“I think the way the school dealt with this  was a knee-jerk reaction in fear of scandal.  People who should be supporting his  education instead took his right to education  away.

“The school claims it has never excluded anyone before and I was so shocked at what they did to Trevor.”

Headteacher Mrs Robinson said: “It would  not be appropriate to discuss the specific  details of the case. However, I can reassure  people that the school always acts in the best  interests of pupils.

“The governing body has noted the  comments made by the independent panel.” and will discuss them at a future meeting.”
