A former headteacher who went on a spending spree of more than £17,000 using school credit cards has been banned from teaching for life.
Elizabeth Hart was head at Field Court Church of England Infants Academy, in Gloucester until 2014.
A report from the professional conduct panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency saysshe spent some £17,855 on school cards on flowers, goods from supermarkets, garden equipment, clothes from major chain stores and music from iTunes, among other purchases.
