Sir John Hunt Community Sports College is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Whitleigh area of Plymouth in the English county of Devon.

Sir John Hunt Community Sports College offers GCSEs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study a range of A-levels and further Cambridge Nationals.

Mr Ryan Benney (formerly Mr Liam Taylor), was a Computing teacher at Sir John Hunt Community Sports College when he pled guilty and was subsequently convicted for the offence of 3 counts of Making Indecent Photograph or Pseudo-Photograph of Children contrary to the Protection of Children Act 1978 s.1 (a) and 6.

As part of the Teaching Regulation Authority's report, the panel found that Mr Benney attempted to conceal his offence in multiple ways, such as by the use of different identities.

It is therefore likely that Mr Benney would have continued to offend if he had not been caught; and that his role as a computer science teacher meant he would have been very aware of the dangers of accessing indecent images of children.
