A former PE teacher has appeared in court charged with 13 counts of sexual offences against three children.
Bronwen James, 29, of Chippenham, Wiltshire, appeared at Salisbury Magistrates' Court accused of sexual activity with two girls and a boy over a three-year period.
She is charged with six counts of sexual activity with girls under the age of 16 and four counts of sexual activity with a boy. She is also charged with two counts of sexual communication with a child and one count of making an indecent photograph of a child.
Ms James was granted conditional bail and her case is set to be heard next before Salisbury Crown Court on 7 August.
Wiltshire Police previously confirmed that Ms James taught PE at Hardenhuish School in Chippenham and Bitterne Park School in Southampton.
Stephen Harrison, chair of the bench, granted bail on two conditions.
They are that Ms James must not contact the complainants in the case nor have unsupervised contact with children under the age of 16.
During the hearing, Ms James spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth, address, and that she understood proceedings.
