A Christian teacher has told the Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) it is ‘desperately concerning’ that she faces losing her career for not teaching LGBT ideology at a Church of England secondary school. 

Glawdys Leger, 43, had been a specialist Modern Foreign Languages teacher for 12 years before she was sacked by Bishop Justus CofE School in Bromley, Kent, in May 2022.

Leger, who is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, said she was ‘treated like a dangerous criminal’ for refusing to teach extreme and politically partisan LGBT lessons, which had been incorporated into Religious Education (RE) lessons, to year 7 pupils at the school.
