Smith 'fires head of Scientology school'

Will Smith and his wife have reportedly fired the headteacher of their Scientology-inspired school.

The Bad Boys actor and Jada Pinkett Smith, who opened The New Village Leadership Academy last September, recently dismissed Jacqueline Oliver from her $200,000-a-year (£120,000) position after apparently clashing over the school's curriculum.

Although the couple deny that they are Scientologists, the school's teachings are allegedly based on the theories of the group's founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Olivier apparently signed a confidentiality agreement before starting the job, preventing her from talking about her work after leaving the school.
