A 27 year old teacher from Beath High School has been arrested and charged with an alleged sexual assault.

Cameron Montgomery, understood to be a Modern Studies teacher at the Foulford Road school, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday 10th September 2025.

He was charged under sections 2 and 3 of the Sexual Offences Scotland Act 2009. The accused entered no plea and was granted bail, to appear again later after examination reports.

The school emailed worried parents today to say the matter is being handled with “the utmost seriousness and sensitivity.”

Donald Macleod, Executive Director Education, said:

“We take the safety and wellbeing of all our children and young people extremely seriously. Their protection is always our main focus.

“We have robust processes in place in our schools to keep all children and young people safe. We encourage children and young people to share any information about concerns they have, knowing they will be listened to and supported as they do so.

“We regularly review and update our child protection processes.

“As a responsible employer, Fife Council cannot discuss individual circumstances of current or former staff members. However, we always take swift action against inappropriate or criminal behaviour.”

Mr Montgomery will appear again at court at a future date.
