Mrs Woolfenden cannot teach for at least three years after admitting smuggling vodka onto school premises and drinking it with orange juice during a lunch break
A primary school headteacher has been struck off for drinking vodka with orange juice during her lunch break.
Jane Woolfenden, 55, admitted smuggling a bottle of vodka in her handbag from her car boot and bringing it inside Lyndhurst Community Primary School in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, in July 2018.
A colleague said they saw the bottle of alcohol after accidentally knocking her bag over.
At a recent conduct hearing, Mrs Woolfenden, who was well-respected among her peers for her 'humility and honesty', was banned from teaching at all schools, sixth form colleges, youth accommodation and children's homes in England.
