Mr Heslop , who separated from his wife last year , has been suspended from his job as executive principal of two academy schools in Kent . But a family member claimed he was ‘ the happiest he ’ s ever been ’ as he was looking forward to becoming a father this summer . The former pupil , who can not be named for legal reasons , became pregnant at the end of last year after leaving school and starting at a London university . The woman , who is now 18 , described herself as a ‘ mummy-to-be ’ on one social media page and posted online a picture of the three-month scan of her unborn child . She wrote that she was ‘ in a loving relationship ’ and had a lot of support , but said some people were quick to judge her because she was a pregnant teenager . The ex-pupil recounted in a blog how her former headmaster came to visit her at university after she began her degree last September . Mr Heslop split from his Canadian wife Celine , 44 , in the autumn after nine years of marriage . He has not been seen at the £850,000 home they shared in Battersea , south-west London , for several months . ‘ Sean is the happiest he ’ s ever been because he ’ s going to be a dad . They are really excited and he is so happy to be a father , ’ an unnamed relative told The Sun .

Under his leadership it was one of the first schools in the country to be rated ‘ outstanding ’ in every category by Ofsted . While there he was criticised by some parents for dramatically reducing the amount of homework given to pupils , so they would have more time to develop their own interests . There was also controversy after it emerged the school had spent all of its £800,000 reserves in four years , plunging it into financial crisis . In 2009 , he took over the running of the Folkestone Academy in Kent on a salary estimated at more than £100,000 a year .
