Highest-paid head teacher suspended over ‘fraud’

Sir Craig Tunstall — whose earnings including pension for the past academic year were £374,000 — was suspended by governors of the Gipsy Hill Federation of primary schools in south London. He was knighted for services to education in 2014 and is recognised by the Department for Education (DfE) as a national leader of education.
