AN ex-headteacher of Radcliffe High School, alleged to have e-mailed nude images to his former colleagues, has resigned.

Mr Graham Rollinson (51), a father of two, had earlier been suspended by Salford Council from his post as headmaster of Moorside High School in Swinton.

His suspension came after allegations he e-mailed "inappropriate" images to colleagues at Radcliffe High School which were discovered during a routine check of computers.

Salford Council has confirmed Mr Rollinson has resigned, days after he attended an investigatory hearing.

He had been headteacher at Radcliffe High School between 1999 and 2002.

It is understood the staff member who received the pictures did not make a complaint.
