A Rugby School housemistress was suspended after she engaged in “sexual banter” with a female student during a visit to a doctor.

Jocelyn D’Arcy told the girl that if the medic “asks if you are sexually active, say ‘no, but I’d like to be’,”  an employment tribunal heard.

After accompanying the pupil to the appointment, Ms D’Arcy also said she “wouldn’t mind being alone with the doctor”.

The Oxford, Cambridge and MIT-educated maths teacher, who joined Rugby School as a housemistress in September 2020, faced 20 allegations of misconduct in just her first two months.
