A physics teacher left her job after "wholly inappropriate and pornographic" images of her emerged online and was circulated among pupils.
Kirsty Buchan, 33, left her position at Bannerman High School in Baillieston, Glasgow, after students discovered her Only Fans site. It sparked a series of complaints from parents to education chiefs at Glasgow City Council, resulting in an investigation being launched.
However, the teacher resigned before disciplinary procedures began. The school recently appeared in the news this week after teachers went on strike due to abuse they face from pupils, the Daily Record reports.
One parent said: "The strike was in national news but all the local talk has been about Miss Buchan’s other job. The photos have been circulating like wildfire and parents have been talking via Whatsapp about it.
“The poses she did for Only Fans weren’t just suggestive, they left nothing to the imagination. Some parents thought it funny but several have made complaints because the poses were just too extreme."
They continued: "She is the last person you would expect to be a science teacher but she obviously is very intelligent and she had an interest in amateur dramatics. She has been telling people that she was looking to supplement her teacher wages with the sideline but she knew there was always going to be a strong risk of getting sacked.
“We don’t know if she was intending to resign from the outset but the Only Fans site wasn’t up for long and she took it down when it became known what she was up to. She has also taken down her Twitter profile.”
On the StarNow website, where would-be actors make themselves available for jobs, Miss Buchan left a profile that states: “I am currently working as a Physics teacher and looking for some extra work on weekends and nights.
“I have experience across several industries and I have worked in promotions, catering, retail and I have also done some extra work in a low budget internet series. I am a very bubbly, outgoing person (always smiling and laughing!) and love to try new things.
"I take pride in doing a good job and I am very self motivated and driven. Any job working alongside people or leading a group (especially working with children) is a perfect match for my qualities and skills.
"My passion is voice acting and I can do several accents along with a range of voices from young to old, male or female. I also love science fiction and any role in a sci-fi series/shoot would be a dream to me.”
The site, which she joined 14 years ago, states that the teacher is 5ft 5ins tall and 56kg, with green eyes. One friend provided a review of the teacher’s acting, writing: “Kirsty was a fantastic Christmas Elf and Head Elf. Would highly recommend.”
A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “This teacher was under investigation prior to tendering her resignation following the widespread distribution of wholly inappropriate and pornographic images. The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute.
“We will be referring the details of our investigation to the General Teaching Council (GTC) and have responded to parental complaints made to the school.”
