Former teacher

Please can the page be updated to show that Paul Dodd, a History and PE teacher at Whitgift in the 1980s, pleaded guilty on 14th July 2023 to sexually assaulting boys as young as 10 at the school. He was fired, and placed on the List 99 watchlist (for those deemed unsuitable to teach children), but the then headmaster, David Raeburn, gave Dodd a 'glowing reference' when he emigrated to New Zealand shortly afterwards, enabling him to continue teaching children.

School type
Just because I was curious following the most recent edits to the page, I took a look at https://www.whitgift.co.uk/about-us/accreditations which seems to indicate they are referred to as an Independent school rather than a Private one. They are similar terms but we should probably use what they call themselves. Primefac (talk) 21:57, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
