Natasha Gray posed for a modelling website

A PE teacher faces disciplinary action after pictures of her in a range of "completely inappropriate" poses appeared on a modelling website.

In one photograph, Natasha Gray was shown wearing a thong and lying on her front on a bed.

Ben Slade, head teacher of Manor Community College in Cambridge, said the head of PE should not have posed for these pictures.

"They were completely inappropriate for somebody who is a teacher," he said.

"They were absolutely not pornographic but do you want to see your teacher in that way? Probably not."

'Inappropriate behaviour'

Mr Slade said he had ordered the immediate removal of the portfolio of "about eight" photographs from the website iModel.com after he became aware of them.

He said they featured Miss Gray in a range of poses, including one "lying on a bed on her front in a thong".

Ben Slade said Miss Gray's actions were inappropriate

"The school has clearly defined policies on how staff should present themselves both in and out of school," said Mr Slade.

"These include the standards of behaviour expected of them at school and in their personal lives.

"Neither the school nor the governing body will tolerate anything - from staff or pupils - which may bring the school's name into disrepute.

"I'm in consultation with our personnel department and with the local authority in relation to further action."

He said Miss Gray had not been suspended but he said he felt "let down" by her actions.

"We're trying to improve things here," said Mr Slade.

"Results have gone up considerably in the last two years - from 32% achieving 5 A-C grades at GCSE to 50%.

"I'm extremely disappointed that this member of staff has let us down."

Miss Gray was not available for media interviews.
