A deputy headteacher has been jailed after admitting filming children getting changed after sports sessions.

Andy Robson, who taught at Ewell Castle School, was jailed for two years at Guildford Crown Court last week.

The 42-year-old from Leslie Road, Dorking, also received a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and must also sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years.

The school’s principal Peter Harris wrote to parents after Robson’s sentencing on Friday, July 21 to confirm the outcome of the hearing. Mr Harris had previously written to parents letting them know of Robson being charged, and had held a meeting for staff and parents.

Robson was arrested after police, executing a search warrant of his house, seized a device believed to be hosting indecent images of children on February 22.

Surrey Police then launched an investigation along with Surrey Children’s Services as part of the county’s multi-agency safeguarding procedures. The probe found that the images had been recorded covertly and consisted of groups of children getting changed after school sporting activities, the force stated.

Robson pleaded guilty to two counts of making indecent images of children and two counts of taking indecent images of children at Guildford Magistrates’ Court on June 19, ahead of his sentencing last week.

‘Making’ indecent images typically means downloading.

Detective Inspector Jon Vogel, from Surrey Police’s Paedophile Online Investigation Team, said: “The taking and making indecent images of children is deplorable and the sentence handed out reflects that.

“I hope the outcome is some consolation to the victims and their families.”

DI Vogel added: “Surrey Police treats all allegations of this nature extremely seriously and I would encourage anyone who has concerns about anyone believed to be involved in taking or making indecent images of children to report it to us straight away.”
