The Education Secretary will be asked to look at an independent review into how a paedohpile teacher was allowed to abuse his pupils for years at Weston primary school.

The town's MP John Penrose says he wants Michael Gove to ensure lessons are learned from an inquiry by North Somerset Safeguarding Children Board into Nigel Leat's offences at Hillside First School.

The 52 year old from Bristol was jailed indefinitely last year after admitting 36 offences against girls at the school.
