Here’s where Educating Manchester’s Mr Povey is after he was banned from teaching
He was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct
Mr Povey from Educating Manchester was suddenly banned from the Channel 4 show, and loads of us were gutted. He was the former headteacher at Harrop Fold School, but a Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) probe found he had been off-rolling pupils.
The former headteacher denied the allegations, but the TRA said his conduct had “fallen significantly short” of standards. It was also told there had been occasions when pupils were recorded as being at school when they were not, which could have put them at risk of harm.
He was basically removing them from the school without permanently excluding them. The board’s panel recommended Mr Povey was banned from teaching for two years, which is when Salford Council placed the school in special measures in 2018.
Mr Povey resigned in September that year, shortly after being suspended over the allegations relating to attendance and exclusions. Loads of people are still huge fans of the teacher, and it turns out he’s doing really well, if social media is anything to go by.
He was suspended with three other members of staff, and following a TRA investigation, Povey was banned from teaching indefinitely in November 2024 for conduct that brought the profession into disrepute. Now, people are wondering what happened to him.
He now makes motivational videos about kindness on Instagram and has even written a book! Four years after Mr Povey resigned, he published a book called
Mr Povey is still involved in the teaching industry, such as attending stands for Life After Teaching, and that was after the news hit headlines that he was officially banned from the show in November 2024. He’s now a leadership coach and mentor at DPC LTD.
He doesn’t appear to have any history of his former teaching job on his LinkedIn page, which states he’s worked for DPC LTD for the last 25 years. Mr Povey also spends a lot of his free time with his sons and wife, who he recently went to the Maldives with.
