FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Scots teacher who dragged primary pupil along floor allowed to continue teaching | History Defined

A Scots teacher who "dragged" a primary school pupil along the floor has been found fit to teach by the regulatory body.

Rachel Wadsworth previously said she felt ashamed of leaving the youngster "terrified" during the incident at a school in South Lanarkshire in December 2017. She had only ever partly admitted the allegation saying she didn't realise the pupil was being pulled along as she was distracted with what was going on in her class.

Miss Wadsworth claimed she was holding the pupil's arm to encourage them to come back into class and that during this the pupil was "pulled on their knees". The Scots teacher admitted she was 'too eager' to get back to the classroom and was "walking too quickly" at the time.
