£140k payout | Teacher told she had 'let colleagues & students down' for taking sick leave

A teacher who was told she had “let [her] colleagues down and [her] students down” after taking time off for a back condition has won a disability discrimination case. 

Miss Annika Robinson, who taught design and technology at Southgate School - part of the Middlesex Learning Trust - was found to have been subjected to unfavourable treatment and harassment arising from disability, after the school failed to renew her contract and mishandled her sickness absence.
