Primary school teacher is accused of putting special needs student in a headlock and forcing children to wet their pants because he wouldn't let them go to the toilet

A relief teacher at a primary school has been accused of putting a student with special needs in a headlock and stopping 10-year-olds from going to the bathroom. 

The alleged incidents are believed to have happened at Butler Primary School, in the northern Perth suburb of Butler, on December 4.

The Western Australian Education Department is investigating the allegations, the West Australian reported. 

A report outlines one student asked the teacher to use the bathroom 10 times in a 1.5-hour period. 

The alleged incidents are believed to have happened at Butler Primary school , Butler, north of Perth, on December 4 

The student was allegedly told using the toilet was 'a privilege not a right'. 

'I wet my pants and started to cry. It was the worst day I've ever had at school,' the student said in a statement.

The boy had been undergoing treatment at a hospital, which had the side effects of increased bladder functions. 

The child's mother said he no longer wants to return to school. 

Other students allegedly ran out of the classroom desperate to use the facilities, and were locked out from learning as a result.

He allegedly made some students write essays to justify why they should be allowed to go to the bathroom during class time. 

The teacher allegedly also told the Year 5 class that Santa Claus wasn't real. 

Another allegation suggested the teacher prevented one student from using his sensory fidget toy, which is part of his behaviour management plan.

'He grabbed my arm and he then put his arm around my neck and held me in headlock,' the student said in a statement. 

'I was screaming to stop and let go.'  

The Education Department confirmed it was investigating the allegations. 

Education Department director general Lisa Rodgers said the alleged behaviour was unacceptable in a classroom.

School principal Julie Woodhouse said the teacher was removed from the classroom and would not teach at the school again.

She said their regular relief teachers were unavailable, so they used an agency for that day.
