POLICE have ended their 11-month investigation into whether salary fraud was committed by the former headteacher at the city's largest school who was on an inflated pay packet of £156,000 – £14,000 more than David Cameron.
Officers have been investigating since July whether any fraudulent activity took place at West Exe Technology College under the leadership of former executive head Steve Maddern and former chair of governors Paul Smith following the publication of a damming report which uncovered financial mismanagement of the school budget.
