The 28-year-old was covering maternity leave at St Joseph’s Roman Catholic High School in Newport in 2011, when allegations about her behaviour were made to other teachers.
After the hearing yesterday, Black released a statement, saying she regretted her actions.
“I'm extremely embarrassed and know it was inappropriate. I sincerely regret my actions. I am aware of the hurt and distress caused by my behaviour.”
“My class all did well in their exams and some of them achieved better than their predicted grades.”
Police first interviewed Black in 2011, after claims were made against her, but no further action was taken.
However, A Professional Conduct Committee of the General Teaching Council of Wales still struck her off yesterday, Committee Chairman, Peter Williams, concluded her behaviour was “fundamentally incompatible with being a registered teacher.”
Among the shocking allegations levelled at Black, one included her sending a boy, known only as Pupil A, emails and text messages asking for sex.
A fellow teacher at the school, Abigail Watts, gave evidence at the hearing and backed up the pupil’s claims.
“I heard comments from other pupils about Miss Black liking pupils and I asked what this meant. They said she had been Facebook messaging Pupil A.”
“She told him she had a dream about them having sex.”
The hearing was also told that Black also played inappropriate games with her sixth form classes, including ‘Who’s a virgin?’ – and made pupils stand up if they’d yet to have sex.
Black did not attend the hearing but later admitted engaging in ‘inappropriate and sexually explicit conversations’ with a pupil over Facebook.
The panel concluded her actions amounted to unacceptable professional conduct and banned her from teaching.
Black can appeal within a month but will not be able to apply to teach again for five years.
