The misconduct hearing for a former Oxford teacher accused of misgendering a pupil and sharing inappropriate religious beliefs is taking place today.

Joshua Sutcliffe who taught maths at Cherwell School in Oxford is accused of not using a transgender pupil’s preferred pronoun in 2017.

He was later dismissed from a school in Islington, London in 2019 over a video he showed students about 'false prophets'.

The outcome of the hearing could result in Mr Sutcliffe being struck off and unable to teach again in school.

Mr Sutcliffe denies the charges of professional misconduct which were first discussed at a hearing held by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) from January 9-13 in Coventry.

He maintains had no training on trans and ‘misgendering’ issues and that school bosses sought to “intimidate” him into submission or resignation.

The hearing in January was adjourned until today (February 27) so that further evidence could be heard.

The maths teacher is further accused of breaching guidelines by expressing his views on gay marriage and homosexuality in the classroom.

Sex-based rights campaigner, Maya Forstater, is due to give evidence at the hearing today.

She initially lost her job at a think tank after tweeting that transgender women could not change their biological sex.

But she later went on to win a landmark case over freedom of speech.

It is anticipated that Ms Forstater will provide evidence on the compelled use of preferred pronouns and the dangers of schools adopting policies affirming trans and other gender identities.

She has argued in the past that people need to speak clearly about sex and keep spaces such as those where women undress and sleep, single sex to protect them.

The 32-year-old is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre.

When the story first broke, Conservative Party chairman Lord Tebbit said: “It seems to me this is a mad world when someone is disciplined for stating a biological fact.”
