Male lecturers branded feminine colleagues ‘kinky sluts’ in vile chat

A primary school teacher has been banned from the classroom after a sick WhatApp chat, in which he shared sexist and homophobic messages about female staff with three other male colleagues, was unmasked by police.   

Matthew Clare, 36, was part of the ‘barbaric’ ‘Nip Clockers’ group chat at Engayne Primary School in Upminster, east London, alongside ‘three other colleagues’. 

In a slew of grossly offensive messages, Clare described female colleagues as ‘kinky sluts’, ‘pure filth’ and ‘f***buddy material’, the Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) said. 

One comment comparing the figures of two different female teachers read: ‘She top (redacted) on the filthy scale… She’s be a dirty f***’.

Another homophobic jibe referred to a colleague as a ‘skin head carpet muncher’ while other posts discussed what they thought might be colleagues’ preferred sexual positions – with the vile chat leaving shell-shocked staff at the primary ‘appalled’.

Clare has now been banned from teaching while all the others involved in the chat have resigned from the primary – with one of the disgraced educators now teaching at a new job at a London prep school.

A misconduct hearing carried out by the TRA heard that Clare admitted the messages gave the impression he was regularly ogling his female colleagues breasts.

One read: ‘Clocked the Ns massively coming on from lunch. This cold weather.’

Scores were kept about many teachers, with Clare posting ‘T*** looked cracking tho’ which received the response of ‘that rack alone makes her top 2 material’,

Another discussion revolved around ‘Do you reckon all the women from work have a go (group chat) about our massive shlongs?’

Clare replied ‘Ha Ha Hopefully!!!’ and ‘Is that sexual assault?’. He described one female colleagues as ‘Hitler’ and ‘a mug’.

He referred to female staff members regularly as ‘c***’ of being on the ‘c** list’ and gave them the collective ‘team name’ of ‘brothel’.

Teaching watchdogs heard that Clare’s messages were found on a colleague’s phone seized in March 2021 the Metropolitan Police who raised the matter as a safeguarding concern.

Clare had participated in the group between July 2019 and February 2020. He was suspended and resigned after being busted.

A second teacher involved in the scandal was Grant Twist, who taught Year 3 at Engayne, before resigning in May 2021 when the WhatsApp group was exposed.

He has been spared a teaching ban and has since moved to £16,818-a-year Snaresbrook Preparatory School in South Woodford, north-east London. 

As well as the sexist and homophobic comments there were also racist jibes and hate messages about one of the pupil’s mothers, who was described as ‘top of my c*** list’. 

One exchange referred to ‘K-O-ing her’ so her head would crack ‘like an egg’ and Clare ‘would love to see it on the Key Stage 2 playground’.

He also ranted: ‘I feel so sorry for her husband. I’d argue it is worse than prison.’

Mrs Melissa West, who chaired the Teaching Regulation Agency hearing, said: ‘Mr Clare was in a WhatsApp group with male colleagues at the school within which he received and sent inappropriate messages about a significant number of female colleagues, a student, and a parent of the school.

‘Mr Clare stated that while the comments he made gave the impression that he was regularly looking at the breasts of multiple female colleagues, this was in fact fictional and he was not actually doing this.’

However, the panel concluded: ‘The messages a Mr Clare sent and received were by their very nature explicitly sexual and contained graphic sexual comments about Mr Clare’s female colleagues.

‘In the panel’s view, the messages spoke for themselves and the panel was satisfied they were sexual in nature.’

Also exposed was Grant Twist. He had posted many vile comments in a similar vein to Clare – describing one colleagues as ‘a filthy b****’ and ‘dirty whore’ – which he now accepted were ‘barbaric’.

His messages included: ‘No bra…risky when bending over a table…no kid wants a lose boob smacking them in the face…imagine tagging her on the boob.’

The panel was told this referred to this referred to a ‘tag’ game which involved staff members touching each other.

Twist claimed at least two female colleagues knew what was going on but there was an agreement not to touch them in intimate areas.

Twist also referred to one female colleague with the comment ‘someone is going to have to take one for the team and donkey punch her.’

He also referred to female staff members as ‘c** slave’ and ‘kinky sl** bucket’ and said of one: ‘She’d make a decent porn hub video’.

He also made homophobic jibe such as ‘carpet munching sl**’ and ‘she ain’t got any bfs because she’s a lesbo’.

This referred to the controversial Britflic film Donkey Punch in which a girl dies from a blow after her attacker learns of an urban myth that hitting women during sex will enhance their orgasm.

He also referred to some of the pupils in his English class as ‘spaz boys’ and made cruel jokes about the homeless and female colleagues with weight issues.

He was spared a teaching ban after the panel accepted he had shown genuine remorse over his behaviour and was getting counselling.

Clare was banned from the profession for at least two years. The fate of the two other teachers involved in the group is not yet clear. However, a source at the school has since confirmed none of those involved in the chat were now employed at the primary.

Banning Clare, David Oakley, for the Education Secretary, said: ‘The findings of misconduct are particularly serious…receiving or sending inappropriate messages which discussed female colleagues in a way which was sexually objectifying, homophobic, misogynistic, and denigrating… racist and engaging in inappropriate discussion of a parent.’

Professor Antony Moss, chairman of governors at the school, said the behaviour of the perverted educators left staff horrified. 

Speaking to MailOnline, he added: ‘As soon as this matter was brought to our attention, the teachers involved were immediately suspended in the interest of pupils and staff.

‘Engayne Primary School leadership conducted a thorough investigation and passed the findings to the relevant bodies, including the Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA), to ensure this matter was dealt with as quickly as possible so sanctions could be brought.

‘We were shocked and appalled by this incident and the behaviour of the teachers named in the report. We have a zero-tolerance approach to this type of behaviour.

‘We recognise this news will impact members of school community and have already offered support to those directly affected.’

MailOnline approached Clare for comment and Mr Twist for comment.
