Keith, I'm not sure you're right about teachers always being moved on with good references, since there was a a list, List 99, which had the names of teachers who were not to be appointed, and it wasn't short. On the other hand, when I was at an all girls school, one of the few men on the staff was found with one of the Upper Sixth girls, off the premises, in dubious activities, and removed, but was later found at another school in the county, from which, for other reasons, he was sacked. So probably both things went on.
