Joshua Sutcliffe is a maths teacher with an exemplary record. But in 2017, Joshua made headlines after being dismissed for allegedly ‘misgendering’ a pupil at his school.
Joshua is pursuing a Judicial Review of the Secretary of State for Education’s (SOS) decision to ban him indefinitely from the profession for refusing to use preferred pronouns.
Joshua’s appeal comes after the government announced its draft transgender guidance for schools in December 2023.
Vindicating Mr Sutcliffe, the new guidance says that teachers should not be compelled to go against their conscience and use a pupils’ preferred pronouns which are contrary to their biological sex.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Joshua’s appeal began at the High Court in London on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
“The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip” (Psalm 37:30-31 ESV).
