A teacher who refused to call a transgender pupil by their preferred name and pronouns has lost a bid to launch a legal challenge against their school.
She said she had safeguarding concerns about the school's support of the child, described in court as a "transgender-affirming approach".
The campaign group Christian Concern, which supported the teacher, said she was then sacked for gross misconduct after sharing information about the child while taking legal advice.
The court heard she was "ideologically driven" by her beliefs.
The teacher had applied to the High Court to launch a judicial review over the school requiring her to follow its policy for supporting transgender children. The case was heard in Birmingham - which is not where the school is based.
The child, known as Child X, had been bullied over their transgender identity at a previous school, the court heard.
