He also threatened her if she tried to blackmail him over their conversations.

Nana Opong was head of computer science at Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls, a role he started in September 2019.

But he was found to have made a series of inappropriate comments to a girl, sent her and another pupil a ‘personal’ survey and refused to delete photos he had asked the girl to send him, saying he ‘looked at them from time to time; and they ‘make him happy’

His case was considered by the ‘Teaching Regulation Agency's professional conduct panel last month.

It heard that among the comments he made were: “When I say you are different, I mean I love the fact you like things like cuddly toys, Disney films and go to the baby section of shops.

“You have these child-like qualities and make no apologies for it.
