Ex-teacher Alan Brigden to return to court in May

A former teacher facing 14 sex offence charges will return to Ipswich Crown Court on 25 May.

Alan Brigden, 67, is accused of offences against children in the 1970s and 1980s at a Norfolk school that later moved to Suffolk.

His court appearance has been adjourned for six weeks while lawyers await completion of reports.

Mr Brigden, from Amsterdam, has been remanded in custody. He did not enter a plea at a hearing in January.

Mr Brigden was extradited from Holland as part of a police investigation into claims of sexual abuse at a private school.

St George's School was based in Wicklewood, Norfolk, and moved to Great Finborough, near Stowmarket, in Suffolk.

Mr Brigden also taught maths at a school in West Sussex.
