FOLLOWING Singleton's jailing, the school where he worked, which cannot be named for legal reasons, issued a statement in which it spoke of the impact of his crimes.
A school spokesman said: "This has been a difficult and upsetting time for everyone affected by what Russell Singleton has done.
"Staff, governors and pupils were all deeply shocked by his behaviour, his breach of trust and the impact on our pupils, the school and local community.
"We worked closely with the police to help them with their investigation and we're pleased it has now reached a successful conclusion.
"Staff and governors take the safety and interests of our pupils very seriously.
"Parents can be confident that we will take appropriate action where there is wrong-doing and pupils know they can talk to us if they have concerns. We have and will continue to work hard and do all we can to ensure every child is safe when they are at school and in our care.
"Importantly, we will continue to provide a high quality education for all our students so they all face successful futures."
