Further complaints have been made against staff at Lyons Hall Primary School in Braintree where the head and assistant head have been suspended.

A spokesman for Essex County Council Education department said: "There have been some further allegations made against teachers at Lyons Hall School, but we can't say anything more."

Headteacher Hilary Mynot and assistant head Chris Webb were suspended from their posts at the Deerleap Way school last month while an inquiry is carried out into the way they dealt with an allegedly abusive pupil.

The spokesman said no further staff had been suspended and refused to say if the complaints were about the suspended head and assistant head.
