How school was rocked by paedophile teacher scandal: Rebecca Joynes liked to play the 'cool girl' and was more sociable with students than staff - while pupils jokingly identified themselves as 'victims' and graffitied toilet with 'Free Ms Joynes' By Arthur Parashar Published: 03:00 EDT, 21 May 2024 | Updated: 03:00 EDT, 21 May 2024 e-mail View comments Paedophile teacher Rebecca Joynes liked to play the 'cool girl' and was more sociable with students than staff, a school insider has revealed. The disgraced maths teacher was last week convicted of sexual activity with children after she slept with with one pupil before falling pregnant by a second. Just days after the damning conviction, a former colleague of Joynes, 30, has revealed how the shocking scandal eroded the relations between pupils and staff as a 'toxic' atmosphere led to an exodus of 'distraught' staff.

'They completely stopped trusting us,' the teacher at the secondary school in Greater Manchester told The Times . She added that after Joynes was suspended, rumours started to spread that she had been buying alcohol for teenagers whom she had invited to her flat for a party. As the scandal engulfed the school, eight male pupils jokingly identified themselves as Joynes' victims on an online group.

Others made TikTok videos calling her a 'paedo' who 'likes kids' and graffitied the toilet with 'Free Ms Joynes'. Paedophile teacher Rebecca Joynes (pictured) liked to play the 'cool girl' and was more sociable with stude.
