A teacher at a secondary school has been handed a reprimand by teaching watchdogs after she posted an anti-English tweet.

Anne Logue, who teaches secondary English, made the comment about "English p****s"  on her Twitter page on August 5 last year.

The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) said the language was "inappropriate and offensive" and gave her a reprimand which will remain on her record for a year.

Ms Logue, who is understood to teach in the Paisley area, admitted posting the tweet after a complaint was made to the GTCS.

The full content of the tweet was not revealed by the teaching watchdog.

She was given a reprimand with consent order, meaning the case did not progress to a full hearing.

The GTCS noted Ms Logue had "reflected on the matter and shown genuine remorse."

The tweet was described as an "isolated incident" with no repetition.
