- Erin La Porte confessed to a fellow teacher on holiday in Vietnam
Struck off: Erin La Porte, pictured, confessed to a colleague during a trip to Vietnam
Erin La Porte, who taught RE at Princes Risborough School, Bucks, was struck off indefinitely by the General Teaching Council after a panel heard she had slept with the youngster during her year-long tenure.
La Porte confessed to a colleague during a trip to Vietnam that she had slept with the youngster - known only as 'Pupil A' ' in July 2007.
Upon their return, her shocked teacher reported her to Pete Rowe, head of the school.
Police were called to investigate, but no action was taken against the teacher, who was 26 at the time.
The panel warned she might repeat her behaviour if she was allowed to continue teaching.
Princes Risborough head Pete Rowe has said he was satisfied with the outcome.
A committee ruling said: 'This was a serious instance of unacceptable professional conduct where a lesser sanction is not appropriate.
'The conduct is fundamentally incompatible with Ms La Porte continuing to be a registered teacher.
'Given the lack of insight demonstrated by Ms La Porte, the committee is not satisfied that she does not pose a significant risk of repeating the behaviour.'
