A former Somerset Deputy Headteacher has been jailed for four and a half years after admitting sexually assaulting teenagers.

Philip Walker from Bridgwater pleaded guilty to twelve charges of indecent assault on a girl under 14 and two charges of indecent assault on a boy under the age of 16, in March.

The sixty-one year old, who taught at a number of schools in the Somerset area, committed the offences over a period of twenty years.
