A headteacher and fellow colleague at a school in Swansea have been suspended after an alleged 'sex tape' was leaked online.

Concerns were raised by parents of pupils at Ysgol Bryn Tawe after video footage supposedly filmed inside the school was posted online.

It is claimed the footage was recorded outside an office at the school and that 'noises' can be heard from the other side of the door.

The clip has been watched and shared hundreds of times on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube.

Although officials have refused to comment on the video's content, chair of governors Heini Gruffudd issued a statement saying headteacher Graham Daniels and another member of staff had been suspended.

Mr Gruffudd said: "The head teacher and another member of staff are currently suspended and Mr Simon Davies, currently deputy head teacher at the school, will be managing the school for the time being.

"The school is running normally and we won't be commenting further at this time."

The Welsh-medium secondary school has around 750 pupils.

During its latest Estyn inspection report, it was praised by inspectors for the quality and consistency of its teaching.
