Female physics teacher, 28, joined Mile High club when she had sex with pupil on flight home from school trip

A female physics teacher has been banned from the classroom for life after having sex with a pupil on a flight home from a school trip.

Eleanor Wilson, 28, who was also head of Key Stage 4 at a school in Bristol, became close with Pupil A during the trip in July and August 2015.

During the flight home from the trip they flirted at the back of the plane while looking after another pupil who was unwell.

Giving evidence to the National College for Teaching and Leadership disciplinary panel, Pupil A said Miss Wilson was intoxicated and he had consumed approximately five miniature bottles of wine on the flight.

He said he and Miss Wilson entered the toilet, kissed, engaged in a sex act and had intercourse without using protection.

The panel found Pupil A to be a credible, reliable witness and agreed with his version of events.

The boy was convinced he was in love with Wilson and they met several times outside of school. 

After the trip they continued to meet outside of school and Wilson also had 'one to one' meetings with him in her office.

They sent each other text messages and drank cider together.
