A SCOTS teacher who admitted to having sex with a 15 year-old pupil has been banned from teaching for life.
Alison Smith, 30, from Aberdeen, was struck from the teaching register after a General Teaching Council Scotland panel found the special needs teacher unfit to carry on working in schools.
In striking Smith’s name from the register the GTCS sub-committee said the teacher’s actions had “had harmed the child”.
The guilt-ridden teacher was forced to hand herself into police after it emerged she had slept with the underage boy on June 15 2008.
Smith was handed a sentence of 18 month’s probation and ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service when she appeared in front of Aberdeen Sheriff Court in January.
