He was arrested last year after a pupil told another staff member about the assault.

The man was sentenced earlier this week.

Two years were suspended on condition that  he is not convicted of sexual assault during that period.

The primary school teacher, not named to protect the identities of the victims, pleaded guilty to eight charges in May this year.
