Jamshed Javeed, who taught at Sharples School in Hill Cot Road, was jailed for involvement in terrorism

Jamshed Javeed, who taught at Sharples School in Hill Cot Road, Sharples, was jailed in March last year for engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts between July 1 2013 and March 12 2014.

He had planned "assisting others in preparing, and preparing himself, to commit multiple acts of murder in guerilla warfare to advance their religious or ideological cause".

The 31-year-old has been banned from the profession for life after by a National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) disciplinary panel sitting in Coventry.

The panel was told Javeed was aware of the proceedings but did not wish to reply to the allegations or be represented and did not challenge the allegations.

Javeed was a chemistry teacher employed at Sharples School from September 1 2012 until November 11 2014. 

The panel found that by the late summer of 2013 he had become radicalised and committed to violent Jihadist ideology. 

It concluded: “He became part of a small group of young men (including his younger brother) who were determined to travel to Syria and join ISIS. 

"He provided essential funding and equipment that assisted his brother and three other men to travel to Syria and fight for ISIS."

The findings say that despite attempts by his family to stop him, Javeed made plans to travel to Syria himself and fraudulently obtained a replacement passport after his family had hidden his original one. 

However, he was arrested in December 2013 and later pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court in south-east London to two offences of engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts.

The Cringle Road, Levenshulme, resident received an extended sentence of nine years, comprising a custodial term of six years and a further three years on licence.

The panel's findings say: “Mr Javeed actively promoted religious extremism from a position of trust as an older professional man over younger people, including his brother, albeit that this was not within a teacher-pupil relationship.

"The panel has had particular regard to the fact that teachers are role models, and can have significant influence over children and young people.

"In light of this, the panel considers that should Mr Javeed be allowed to teach in the future, he would present an unacceptable risk of harm to pupils."

Imposing the ban, Jayne Millions, NCTL head of teacher misconduct, ruled that Javeed should never be given the opportunity to seek to have the ban lifted. 

She said: “I agree with the panel that allowing Mr Javeed to teach in the future would present an unacceptable risk of harm to pupils.

"It would also undermine public confidence in the profession.

“Due to the serious nature of this case and for the reasons set out above, I agree with the panel’s recommendation, that a prohibition order should be imposed and that no review period should be allowed.”

The only way Javeed could seek to overturn the ban is by applying for a judicial review at the High Court.

Javeed's sentencing judge Judge Michael Topolski said it was clear the 31-year-old was "adherent to a violent jihadist mindset". 

In December last year, Javeed failed in his appeal against the length of his sentence in which he claimed it was wrong for Judge Topolski to consider him as "dangerous".

It is believed that Javeed's younger brother Mohammed, who studied mechanical engineering at Liverpool John Moores University, might have gone to Iraq with Islamic State but nothing has been heard of him for more than a year.

His travel companion Khalil Raoufi, who also attended Liverpool John Moores, was killed in February 2014, a day after his 20th birthday.

The pair met with another former student at the university, Raphael Hostey, when they reached Turkey on their way to Syria. Hostey, 22, is still in the war-torn country.
