WILL Smith has fired the head teacher of his Scientology-inspired school. The actor and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith have axed Jacqueline Olivier from her $200000-a-year (about R1,6million) position at The New Village Leadership Academy after reportedly clashing over the school's curriculum, which is based on the teachings of sci-fi cult founder L Ron Hubbard.

A source said: "Jada told Jacqueline that they had 'decided to go in another direction' with the school."

Olivier has reportedly "thrashed-out" a compensation deal and signed a confidentiality agreement about the school. The couple - whose children go to the school - have denied they follow the faith. - Bang
