Marjorie Evans, the headteacher who was cleared on appeal of slapping a pupil, then was kept out of school for a further three months and faced a further disciplinary hearing by her education authority, is to pursue a claim for compensation against Monmouthshire education authority. This is in respect of the stress suffered during the prolonged 18-month affair, which ended with the conclusion that there was no credible evidence against her.
