41-year-old Nick Hewlett, the headteacher of St Dunstan’s College in Catford, South London, came out as gay to his students in an online video message, making him the first teacher in the UK to do so.
His video was delivered to around 700 students, where he said he is “happily married and gay”, having tied the knot with Alberic Elsom, director of music at Whitgift School in Croydon, in 2014.
