An angry father attacked his son's science teacher after the boy complained he was bullying him, a court has heard.

James Buckley punched Stuart Devereux up to 10 times in the head while confronting him after a school meeting to discuss the alleged bullying, it is claimed.

On October 22 last year Mr Devereux sent Year 11 student Matt Buckley from class because the boy refused three times to sit where he was told.

The head teacher at Pensby High School For Boys in Wirral, Merseyside, arranged for the meeting after school that day with Matt's mother Tracey - who is jointly charged with assaulting the teacher.
