A female PE teacher could be struck off over allegations she had sex with a pupil after a senior prom.
She is alleged to have partied with students at SWG3 nightclub in Glasgow before going back to a Premier Inn hotel room in June 2017.
The teacher – from Gleniffer High School in Paisley – allegedly danced inappropriately with pupils at the event before bedding an 18-year-old.
She is then said to have drunk shots before asking them: “Can we for a minute act like I’m not a teacher?”
It is claimed a pupil stumbled across the teacher in bed with a schoolmate in a Premier Inn room later that night.
She is alleged to have said: “Technically I haven’t touched him yet.”
The teacher, who was in her 20s at the time and had recently qualified, faces being struck off by the General Teaching Council for Scotland next week if the allegations are upheld.
They read: “Between June 7, 2017 and June 8, 2017, while employed by Renfrewshire Council as a PE teacher at Gleniffer High School, at the senior prom and immediately thereafter, you danced inappropriately with pupils during the prom, including making inappropriate physical contact while dancing with them at SWG3, Glasgow.
“[You] kissed Pupil A at the hotel in which pupils were staying for the night, the Premier Inn, and engaged in sexual intercourse with Pupil A after the prom, at the Premier Inn.
“[You drank a shot, or shots] at the bar of SWG3, behaved in an inappropriate manner in a hotel room at the Premier Inn by drinking alcohol in the presence of pupils and stating words to the effect of, “Can we for a minute act like I’m not a teacher” to a pupil(s).
Further allegations state the teacher “was alone on a bed with Pupil A and when Pupil E entered the room, stated to Pupil E words to the effect of, “Technically I haven’t touched him yet”.
The allegations add: “[You] were under the influence of alcohol to the point of being inebriated in the presence of pupils in the Premier Inn, had awareness an ex-pupil was in possession of drugs and didn’t report this to appropriate authorities.”
The teacher is also alleged to have told Gleniffer High’s headteacher that she was at home when she was at the Premier Inn.
Police Scotland were alerted over the incident and investigated at the time. They found no criminality had taken place.
It is understood the teacher no longer works at the school and is now employed as a fitness and yoga instructor overseas.
Ex-Gleniffer High music teacher Elizabeth Smillie was struck off in 2018 after being accused of engaging in sexual activity with a 17-year-old pupil.
