A PE teacher turned fitness guru faces being struck off the teaching register amid claims he called a pupil a “poofy jew.”

Darren Marr has been accussed of putting a bowl on top of the boy’s head and making the antisemitic remark during a PE lesson in 2014.

Mr Marr has also been accused of repeatedly slapping the teenager over the head during the incident at Inveralmond Community High in Livingston, West Lothian.

The former secondary teacher, who is now a fitness coach, appeared in Livingston Sheriff Court in 2015 in relation to the remarks.
