The Tema Circuit Court has granted GH¢100,000 bail with two sureties to Veronica Vorsah, headmistress of St. Olives School of Grammar in Dodowa.
Ms Vorsah faces charges of causing harm under Section 69 and assault under Section 84 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The case follows a report by Accra-based Channel One News alleging the abuse of an eight-year-old pupil, Jalila Abdul Jalil, which prompted police action.
After the bail ruling, Ms Vorsah complied with all conditions and has been instructed to report to the Dodowa Police Command every Wednesday as part of her bail terms.
Prosecutors have said they will seek further guidance from the Office of the Attorney-General while investigations continue.
The court has adjourned the matter to March 9, 2026, for the next hearing.
