I saw a red mark on her cheek, there was a red area and then what looked like a red outline of that finger," she added.Victoria Sargent, a newly qualified teacher, said she felt Ms Mitchelhill's response had been "inappropriate".In a police interview, Ms Mitchelhill said she only raised her voice and turned the girl's head to establish eye contact. The headteacher, who denies assault, was suspended after the alleged incident in April.Debbie Banner, a nursery nurse who was on a school attachment, said Ms Mitchelhill was called after the girl, who had been expelled from two previous schools, misbehaved during a numeracy lesson.She said Ms Mitchelhill picked her up by her shoulders and dragged her to a patio area.

A teacher at the top of the main scale will earn £28,005 by September 2005.The pay of the country's highest-paid state school headteacher will rise to £99,585.. John Dunford, general secretary of the Secondary Heads Association, said: "On the general pay rise, heads are torn between the need to balance their budgets and the need for substantial pay rises to attract the best graduates into teaching. The pay review body has rejected a demand from ministers to restrict the number to 30 per cent of those eligible At present about 90 per cent receive the rises. They will, however, welcome the added stability and predictability of a two-year pay award."Further controversy is likely over government plans to restrict the number of senior teachers receiving merit rises of £1,000. Again this Government offers teachers less than the increase in average earnings. The decision to freeze teachers' pay at inflation will increase the gap with other graduate employees, increase the problems of recruitment and retention which will be used to force schools to use unqualified persons to take whole classes."Leaders of headteachers' organisations, however, gave the long-term pay deal a cautious welcome.

He said he based his predictionon the Government's setting up of more than 50 City Academies, schools financed by the state but run by private sponsors.Last month, the London Labour MP Diane Abbott said she was sending her son to a £10,000-a-year private school..
