A sports coach slapped pupils, placed them in headlocks and drew a penis on a child's face while working at a special educational needs school.

Elliot Millar's 'hideously inappropriate' actions were slammed as 'nothing short of bullying' by a judge. The 21-year-old's actions came to light after being secretly recorded by undercover journalist Sasha Hinde, who was employed as a member of staff at the school.

Footage was aired on a BBC Panorama documentary and passed on to the police. Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard how Millar was given a job at Life Wirral Sports School in New Brighton, Merseyside, following a 'very informal' interview with the principal.

The behaviour Millar showed was said to be 'endemic' at the specialist school, the Liverpool Echo reports.
