A headmaster was sacked from his job at a top catholic school before he even started because the governors discovered he had split up with his wife.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Christopher Belli, 38, was offered the top job at Corpus Christi RC High School in Cardiff in February following a lengthy recruitment process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But governors at the faith school suddenly retracted their offer citing “marital reasons”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After learning that the experienced teacher’s marriage had broken down they decided they no longer wanted him at the school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The decision was criticised by the National Secular Society who say it makes “a mockery of equality laws”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
