'Victorian style' teacher claims unfair dismissal'
A music teacher whose old-fashioned methods led to his suspension and eventual sacking is pursuing a claim for unfair dismissal.

Roger Griffin refused to leave the premises at Beechview School in High Wycombe when he was informed of his suspension, prompting the head teacher to call the police, the Daily Express reports.

He was eventually sacked for gross misconduct after allegedly shouting in the faces of young pupils, criticising parents and taking an approach to education described as "Victorian" by the newspaper.

However, Mr Griffin's case for unfair dismissal is now being heard at an employment law tribunal in Reading.

The panel heard the 63-year-old's strict manner reduced several pupils to tears, while concerned parents who questioned his methods were rebuked for making an "impertinent suggestion".

Mr Griffin is a graduate of the Trinity College of Music in London who began his teaching career in 1970.

According to recent data from the Tribunals Service, the number of employment law tribunals increased by 56 per cent in the 12 months to March 31st 2010.ADNFCR-2347-ID-800066932-ADNFCR
