A HEADTEACHER allegedly attacked his deputy with a heavy-duty spanner in front of shocked pupils over a love triangle with a teacher at the same school.
Dr John Felton, 54, is said to have discovered a woman was also having affairs with other members of staff.

The head emailed staff apologising for what he was about to do saying: “I’m sorry for the distress which the rest of today will bring.”
Just before 10am on Wednesday Dr Felton allegedly armed himself with a large spanner and attacked deputy head Richard Pyke, causing him serious head injuries.
Emergency services were called to St Joseph’s Catholic School and Sixth Form Centre in Aberavon, South Wales.
Married father-of-three Dr Felton was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault.
Mr Pyke, 51, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Some parents arrived to collect their children after receiving text messages about the attack and are threatening to keep them off until they receive assurances about leadership in the school.
Worried parents posted on Facebook that the teachers involved were having sexual liaisons in school, “never mind the headteacher nearly beating someone to death with a wrench”.
It is understood that the teacher was not at the school at the time of the alleged spanner attack.
Dr Felton’s email was signed off with the word “goodbye”.
The email said: “Dear staff, the greatest mistake I made was appointing ******* ******* in various roles.
“She has slept her way to the top, currently engaging in sexual activity with at least 2 current members of the SLT (School Leadership Team) including Richard Pyke.
“I’m sorry for the distress the rest of the day will bring. I am sorry.
“You are good people and do an amazing job for our community.
“Goodbye, John.”
Dr Felton was appointed head at the 900-pupil school in 2023 after being head of mathematics there for 17 years.
A South WalesPolice spokesman said: “We were called at 9.50am to reports of an assault at St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Comprehensive School in Aberavon.
“A 51-year-old man has been taken to hospital, it is believed his injuries are not life threatening. A 54-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault.
“We are aware of local speculation about the nature of the assault but we can confirm no knives were involved.”
Neath Port Talbot council said support would be offered to pupils and staff affected by the violent assault.
A spokesman said: “We are aware of an incident that occurred at St Joseph’s Catholic school and Sixth Form Centre this morning.
“The incident did not involve any pupils.
“The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priority and we are working closely with the school to ensure the appropriate support is offered to everyone affected by this incident.
“The matter is currently under investigation by the police and the school is fully cooperating with their inquiries.”
Labour MS for Aberavon, David Rees, said: “This is a very sad situation for our community and my thoughts currently are with the person who is injured.
“I am sure the local authority will provide full support to staff and pupils who may be affected in the coming days and weeks.
“It is important that at this time the police and other relevant authorities are allowed to investigate the incident without any speculation.”
GettyThere are fears of more teacher strikes as a hardcore left-winger looks set to become the new NASUWT chief[/caption]
His 20-year run as boss of the Fire Brigades Union ended in election defeat this year and after the longest period of strike action in its history.
Mr Wrack, endorsed as the preferred candidate by the NASUWT executive, said then: “I leave with my head held high.
“Since 16 I have been an active anti-racist, anti-fascist.
“My views and values have not changed and I will continue that fight.”
NASUWT is the second biggest teaching union after the National Education Union, run by left-winger Daniel Kebede.
Ex-Tory minister and teacher Jonathan Gullis told The Sun: “I’m dismayed and depressed at the prospect of another teaching union being taken over by the loony left.
“This will spell disaster for the reputation of teachers and undo the previous progress in creating a world-class education.

THIS SEASON’S Scottish Cup hopefuls are heading back to Hampden.
Teams will do battle at the National Stadium once this weekend’s quarter-final schedule is complete and the semi-final pairings are made.
SNSThe Scottish Cup is down to the last eight[/caption]
Willie VassQueen’s Park stunned Rangers in the last 16 to take a place in the quarter finals – but will they or Aberdeen be in the semis?[/caption]
Kenny RamsayCeltic won the cup last May – and have won it the most times too[/caption]
The entrant numbers have dropped into single figure territory since the competition kicked off way back in August with the qualifiers.
And that means we’re now at the business end of the competition.
From 130 teams involved the last eight are becoming the final four and taking a place in the hat for semi-final weekend in April.
Among them could be some history.
Livingston have never won the Scottish Cup, while it’s more than 130 years for Queen‘s Park – the first ever name on the old trophy.
Aberdeen have had a fairly long wait of 35 years too – but not as long as Dundee who have had another 90 on top of that.
Hibs, St Johnstone and Hearts have all won the trophy this century and holders Celtic are still aiming to defend their trophy this weekend.
But there are seven rivals bidding to topple them and each is aiming for a spot in the semi-final draw and the coveted place on the pitch when the tournament turns back to Hampden.
We’ll have all the latest from the matches in The Scottish Sun in print, and online.
In the meantime, here are all the details you need ahead of this weekend’s games and the draw to set up the semi-finals of this season’s Scottish Cup.
When is the Scottish Cup semi-final draw?
The Scottish Cup draw for the semi-finals take place on Monday – March 10.
The draw will follow the last match of the quarter-final weekend – Livingston v St Johnstone.
That kicks off at 7.45pm so the draw will be 9.30pm – at the earliest.
If extra-time is needed it could be after 10pm or even later if the clash requires penalties.
Can I watch the Scottish Cup semi-final draw?
Yes. It will be shown on the TV coverage after the match with BBC Scotland holding the rights to Livi v St Johnstone.
The game, and therefore the draw, will be shown on BBC Scotland channel.
Who is in the draw?
The winner of each quarter final will earn a place in the hat.
Quarter final games have been spread over the weekend, with one Scottish Cup clash on each day from Friday through to Monday.
The semi-finals are scheduled for March 19 and 20.
Teams involved
The semi-final draw will include the winner from each of the quarter final ties:
PARobin Propper was flattened by Jack Butland[/caption]
Willie VassHe was forced off the pitch as a result[/caption]
Propper was running back towards goal to defend a ball in behind for Dusan Tadic to chase.
The Dutch centre-back managed to get his body in between Tadic and the ball on the edge of the Rangers box but Butland had came rushing out and seemingly there was a break down in communication between the two.
While Propper was under pressure, if Butland had stayed on his line he could have headed the ball back to him or hooked it clear.
Butland didn’t want to risk anything so instead he charged out to head the ball (as he was outside the area so couldn’t catch it) but in doing so he inadvertently headbutted Propper.
The defender was barged to the ground and writhed in pain as docs were immediately concerned with a possible concussion – or worse.
Gers were leading 1-0 at the time thanks to an early goal from Cyriel Dessers.
The head knock forced Propper to be subbed off (he was able to walk to the sideline unaided) for Leon Balogun, with Rangers playing a back three in Istanbul.
Within a few minutes of Propper going off, Gers conceded from a corner.
Alexander Djiku, who had came on as a sub for Çağlar Söyüncü, finished with aplomb at the back post to level things up for the hosts.
The collision left Gers fans hoping Propper wasn’t seriously injured.
One said: “Seriously I hope Propper is okay, looked a sore one.”
Another said: “Reckless play from Butland. Just hope no damage to Propper.”
A third said said: “Glad to see Propper walk off after that. Lucky boy!”
Before this supporter commented: “Clearly accidental and no malice towards Propper but I have no idea what Butland is doing there. Wild.
And a fifth said: “Propper made for these games too. Sore one.”
The TV cameras caught the moment Propper was upended by his team mate

RASMUS HOJLUND was left fuming with one of his team-mates during the clash with Real Sociedad.
The striker is enduring a barren run of form in which he has not scored since his brace against Viktoria Plzen in December.

The striker made his feelings clear to DalotGetty
Hojlund had a great chance to break his duck but was not allowed the moment as Diogo Dalot failed to find him with a pass.
The Dane was left fuming as he went ballistic at the defender.
Fans noticed the moment as they admitted they felt sorry for the former Atalanta striker.
One posted: “Right there is your difference between a right back and a right wing back.”
A second commented: “Hojlund went crazy at Dalot for failing to pass to him when there was opportunity in that attack. Rightly so.”
A third wrote: “Hojlund’s gone ballistic at Dalot there for not crossing and has every right to.
“Ball had to be delivered first time and he ignored Hojlund.”
A fourth said: “I feel sorry for Hojlund as finally he made a good run inside the box and Dalot the puta couldn’t put the ball into the box with ease.”
A fifth pointed out: “Just a simple ball to Hojlund and it’s one on one with a keeper.”
Another added: “Feel sorry for Hojlund. Simple cross for dalot to give him a chance and doesn’t play the pass.”
Hojlund was given the chance to start as promising striker Chido Obi was not eligible to play in the Europa League.
