P.E. teacher’s lingerie snaps cause uproar among parents

Cambridge, March 31: Model and teacher are two professions that don’t seem to blend quite well. 30 year old P.E. teacher and model Natasha Gray landed into trouble with school authorities when parents of wards complained about her revealing photographs posted on the Internet.


Gray is the Head of PE and Dance at The 355 Manor Community College, Cambridge. Her part time career as a model was no secret. In fact, in 2002 she was voted Britain’s sexiest teacher by ITV phone-in competition. All this was before she began teaching at the school.

The outrage took place when parents were told by their children of their teacher’s lingerie pictures on Natasha's imodel.com page.

An unnamed parent expressed her concern through a letter to Principal Ben Slade which quotes, ''I am a parent of a pupil at Manor Community College in Cambridge and was surprised when my child came home from school informing me that one of their teachers had some what I would call provocative pictures on a website.

''From doing a bit of digging, it is apparently common knowledge about these photos, and has been for some time.

''Any teacher is in a position of trust and surely this is inappropriate for not only the school, but also pupils. I am disgusted that, even if these were taken before she became a teacher, Miss Gray has not even attempted to remove them. I assume the pupils have a good giggle about it but I find it rather crass.'

What distresses the parents the most was the impact of these images on children as young as 11 who had seen them. Particularly controversial is a photograph that shows Natasha lying down on a bed wearing a thong.

Natasha was unavailable for comment. Principal Ben Slade on the other hand states, ''I knew nothing about this. It is not on the school's internet and we have very robust policies on how staff should behave in school. This will certainly be dealt with most severely and will certainly be a disciplinary matter.”

Furthermore he says, ''Teachers are entitled to their union representation and Miss Gray has been spoken to. She will be asked to take the pictures down. This is not a matter for suspension, as much as I would like it to be in this case.”

Since the pictures were not exactly pornographic nor involved someone of a dubious age, the matter is not very serious. Even then, a stern disciplinary action is being intended by school authorities against Natasha.
