The science teacher who bludgeoned a 14-year-old pupil with a dumbbell has been sacked from his job.
Peter Harvey, 50, was given a two-year community order on Monday after he admitted he hit the boy with the 3kg weight while being taunted during a lesson in July last year.
His union, the NASUWT, said it hoped Nottinghamshire county council and All Saints school in Mansfield would let him retire on grounds of ill-health.
But, it was revealed Mr Harvey apparently had been sacked.
