A teacher who forced a pupil to wait outside his office for 13 hours and concealed criminal convictions has been banned from teaching indefinitely following a misconduct hearing by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA).
Yusuf Musal, 32, a former staff member and safeguarding lead at Darul Uloom London, a private boys’ boarding school, was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
The incident occurred on December 19, 2017, when Mr Musal made a student wait outside from 8am until 9pm as punishment for not attending a mandatory morning prayer. He denied the allegation, but the tribunal ruled he had “exposed the pupil to harm or a risk of harm.”

Weapons Found at Teacher’s Flat
The panel also reviewed concerns over bladed weapons found at Mr Musal’s school accommodation, including three samurai swords and a hawk handle knife. While Mr Musal insisted these were “historical and decorative replicas” and securely kept in a locked flat, the tribunal accepted his explanation and found this did not pose a risk to pupils.
