A FORMER PE teacher has appeared in court charged with a string of sex offences against three children.
Bronwen James is accused of engaging in sexual activity with two girls aged 14 and 15 and sexual communication with a child.
The 29-year-old also allegedly made an indecent image of a child and had sexual activity with a 16-year-old boy while in a position of trust.
James previously taught PE at Hardenhuish School in Chippenham and Bitterne Park School in Southampton.
She appeared at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court today where she spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address.

The charges state she engaged in penetrative and non-penetrative sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl.
She also allegedly engaged in sexual communication with two girls aged under 16 – although it is not clear if one of the alleged victims was the 14-year-old girl.
James is accused of three counts of sexual activity with a 16-year-old boy between August 2021 and June 2022.
