This is the moment a teaching assistant tries to remember why she spat in a young pupil’s face.

Danuska Pullia, 47, was spotted by colleagues hitting, pinching and even spitting in the face of pupils at her Kent school between September 2021 and July 2023.

She told an investigating officer at a voluntary interview: ‘She spat at me first I didn’t react, she did it again, I didn’t react. I don’t know why I did the third time though.’

‘I can’t remember why I did it no,’ she added. ‘I spat, not really in her face. I don’t know why I did it. But I know she did it to me – maybe twice.’

Another colleague reported watching Pullia pinch the nose of a different pupil who stole food from another.
