A super-fit PE teacher who had sex with a pupil and sent flirtatious texts and selfies to another has been banned from the classroom for life.

Married Cheyne Phillips, 34, was Deputy Head of PE at Healing Science Academy, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, when he started the inappropriate relationships, a Teaching Regulation Agency disciplinary panel was told.

The fitness fanatic, who competed in combat sports and ran marathons worked at the school between 6 July 2016 to 22 July 2022.

In that period Phillips raised more than £6,000 for a seriously ill child by running a Yorkshire marathon.

During that time he had regular sexual encounters with Pupil B, who also sent him ‘nudes’ and he flirted with Pupil A on Instagram asking ‘how’s the head game?’
