The panel convened and legal adviser also convened virtually on 25 October 2023. The panel members were Ms Mona Sood (lay panellist – in the chair), Ms Victoria Miller (teacher panellist) and Mr Richard Young (lay panellist). The legal adviser to the panel was Ms Abigail Reynolds of Birketts LLP solicitors. The presenting officer for the TRA was Ms Sarah Vince of Browne Jacobson LLP solicitors. Mr Headley was present and was not represented. The hearing took place in public and was recorded. 4 Allegations The panel considered the allegations set out in the notice of proceedings dated 5 September 2023 (as amended by an application from the presenting officer which is set out below). The amended allegations are as follows: It was alleged that Mr Headley was guilty of unacceptable professional conduct and/or conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute, in that whilst employed at Rokeby School: 1. He created and/or made publicly available one or more materials which were titled; a) ‘The DNA of Satan’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of; i. black people like me are the only people who don’t have the DNA of Satan, everyone else does have the DNA of Satan, white people and LGBT people are evil. b) ‘DNA of the Wicked’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of: i. Europeans generally deny it until it becomes more apparent, that Satan has a seed; ii. Those who want to dominate and to control and to have the dominion, that’s the creation we’re looking at, that’s the offspring; iii. the seed line of Satan struggles with the understanding that Satan is their father; iv. the Jews the scribes and the Pharisees of his day and, by extension, the Jews, the scribes and the Pharisees of today, he’s saying, “You are of your father, the Devil.”; v. JC, the- that person, that image of JC is in the seed line of Satan; vi. the anti-Christ is going to be from the Islamic world; vii. The Christians are sitting in the White House and that’s the deception. They are right inside it, but their eyes are blind. That’s what Christianity does. It blinds the eyes. The DNA of Satan, when it gets in, it contaminates. That is why Yah said very, clearly, don’t mix. Don’t mix your seed. Don’t give your sons and don’t take their daughters. There was a reason; 5 viii. Hebrews, have you not; you cannot carry the DNA of the Wicked One, but what you could - what can happen to you is that you can become contaminated, you can become polluted, because we are living in this world. What we need to do is follow the laws. That’s why Yah gave us commandments that we might be a different people, a separated people; ix. what is found in the DNA of Satan. I’m gonna put it there, you know, like LGBT, like Antichrist, like a Cain, like a Esau, and what is found, in the seed line of Almighty Yah, your goodness and your faithfulness and your righteousness; x. you can become infected with the seed line of Satan, walk as a Hebrew, don’t walk as a gentile, walk differently. c) ‘DNA of the Wicked Part 2’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of: i. decided they were going to rebel against the Most High, the creator of this universe, and they came down on this Earth and they did things that were very evil and obnoxious and, today, we have got a seed line in this Earth that belong to the offsprings of those fallen ones; ii. love, temperance and mercy cannot be produced by the seed of Satan, the seed line of Satan fuels all wars; iii. “if you lie down with dogs, you are going to get fleas.” So, if you attach yourself, like the Apostle Paul did, he joined himself to this religion called Jewism; iv. You see, that is the nature of the DNA of Satan. So, when you see people on this planet being liars and deceitful and cheat, that is what they have – they’re exhibiting. Yes, Hebrews can adapt this DNA. Hebrews can become infected with this virus that comes out from this seed line. If you allow yourself to be infected by this virus that comes out from this seed line, then you’re going to get the same fate, Hebrews; v. So the Hebrew, if you have gone astray, that this message, you can come back in line, but you do not have to continue following in the religion of Christianity or this Jew religion that these people have made up, because that is of the seed line of Satan. d) ‘Greetings from Rome’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of: 6 i. care planning, order put in place to perpetuate this collective desire to keep the Hebrews in subjection, it is not a small effort, conspiracy to keep the children of Israel under cover; ii. this complete orchestration, planned, strategic programme to keep the Hebrews under wraps, under cover, in subjugation; iii. this is the seat of The Beast, this is the seat of the false prophet, this is everything that’s gone in position to The Most High; iv. lots of what we practice is deep, pagan ritual, paganism, witchcraft if you want to call it at best; v. Rome has crafted a religion, Rome has crafted a system of government of the world and there’s none that’s parallel to this system that’s been able to cultivate, manipulate, control the mind of the masses to the point where they pledge allegiance to what they don’t even understand, and if they’d only understand what they are pledging allegiance to, they would be very regretful in their hearts, Hebrews this is what happened in this world in which we live. e) ‘Standing on the Words of Yah’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of: i. the Hebrews, the children of the Most High are those that Yah set aside for his purpose to be a light to this dark Gentile world. f) ‘Scattered but not Lost’, in which he expressed and/or endorsed comments including to the effect of: i. Judaism was developed to mimic the way of life of ‘The Children of Israel’. It is Satan’s counterfeit for the real worship of God and so are all religions; ii. the ‘European Jews’ who went to our land in 1948 are possessed by the SPIRIT OF ESAU; iii. this EVIL RELIGION CALLED JUDAISM; iv. CATHOLICISM like JUDAISM is Satan’s substitute for the true worship of the Almighty YAH. 2. His behaviour as may be found proven at: 7 a) allegations 1a – 1e demonstrated a lack of insight into previous concerns raised and/or guidance you had been given by the School in or around October 2018; b) allegations 1a – 1f above demonstrated a lack of tolerance and/respect for the rights and/or beliefs of others and/or was contrary to Fundamental British Values. Mr Headley denied the allegations (as amended) at the outset of the hearing.

They are right inside it, but their eyes are blind. That’s what Christianity does. It blinds the eyes. The DNA of Satan, when it gets in, it contaminates.

There was a reason’; • Allegation 1(b)(viii) from ‘Hebrews, you cannot carry the DNA of the wicked one but what can happen to you is that you can become contaminated, polluted, because you are living in the world so follow the commandments the we might be 8 different people, a separated people’ to ‘Hebrews, have you no
