The PE teacher at the Harvey Grammar School posed nude in a series of photos that were found on the internet by pupils according to The Sun newspaper.

After images were circulated among students on the Facebook website and mobile phones, they were brought to the attention of the headmaster, it is claimed.

When asked about the photos yesterday, the teacher insisted to the newspaper that they were not pornographic.

A spokeswoman for the school said that the teacher had been told to stay away while his conduct is investigated.

"The principal yesterday suspended a member of staff following certain allegations and an investigation is under way. It would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this time," she said.

In 2006 Kristina Howells, a music teacher, was sacked from the school for posing topless for Cosmopolitan magazine.
