A school cannot take its case against a teacher who shared social media posts criticising teaching about LGBT+ relationships to the Supreme Court.
Kristie Higgs, a Christian mother of two, was sacked from her role at Farmor's School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, in 2019 for sharing Facebook posts criticising teaching about LGBT+ relationships in schools.
In February, she won a Court of Appeal battle related to her dismissal, with judges finding the decision to sack her was "unquestionably a disproportionate response".
The school sought to appeal against the ruling at the Supreme Court, but three justices have refused to give it the green light to challenge the decision.
