Luke Atkinson, 25, who was on a night out, was captured in camera returning to his room with a 17-year-old girl in 2012.

Following a misconduct hearing that year which revealed he had 'engaged in sexual activity' with the teenager, Atkinson was sacked from his 2 year post as a PE teacher at Balby Carr School in Doncaster.

After Atkinson's request for his case to be heard in private was refused, he failed to attend the hearing at the Professional Misconduct Panel of the National College for Teaching and Leadership in Coventry last month.

The teacher, who had lied about taking the girl back to his hotel room, was also found guilty of lying to police.

The panel recommended that Atkinson be banned from the classroom for five years, but Alan Meyrick, on behalf of then Education Secretary Michael Gove, said Atkinson should be banned for life owing to his apparent lack of remorse.

He said: ‘His behaviour is so serious that a review period is not in the public interest.

‘This means that Mr Atkinson is prohibited from teaching indefinitely… and shall not be entitled to apply for restoration of his eligibility to teach.’
