In October 2012 a question posed by students at Market Bosworth High School [citation needed] was the first to be used in the world's first live broadcast via Facebook of a science lesson at the Royal Albert Hall, in London.

[2] David Brinded, a former teacher at Market Bosworth High School who later became a headteacher, was found guilty of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old student during a French lesson in the 1970s.

The issue was brought back to the fore in 2013, when the victim made a formal complaint, leading to a trial where Brinded was convicted on one count of indecent assault.

Despite his denial of the allegations and character witnesses describing him as a dedicated teacher and an "inspirational" leader, Brinded was warned by the court to expect a custodial sentence.

The event involved students playfully throwing wet sponges at staff, but when Katie threw a Haribo gummy bear at the deputy head teacher, it was classified as "assaulting an adult" by the school.
