A teacher at Southwark Primary School, Steven Ward, has been indefinitely banned from teaching after being caught drinking Brewdog Punk IPA during classes. Witnesses reported him consuming beer while attempting to mask the smell with mints, and he was also noted to have arrived at a morning meeting smelling of alcohol. Despite denying the allegations, a misconduct panel found sufficient evidence of his behavior falling below professional standards, leading to concerns for student safety. Ward, who had a prior drink-driving conviction, must wait at least three years before applying for his prohibition to be lifted.
