A school worker in her 70s has won an age discrimination claim after the headteacher told her 'we're not all going to be here forever.'
The comment was made during discussions about Jackie Ware's job at Horsenden Primary School in Greenford, west London, an employment tribunal heard.
The 71-year-old Mrs Ware had no intention of leaving her job but it was found that headteacher Emma Appelby and other staff at the school expected her to 'give in and retire.'
After her job was 'deleted', Mrs Ware was unfairly kept waiting on garden leave for three months waiting for a new role at the school that never materialised.
