A former PE teacher has appeared in court charged with 13 sexual offences against three children.
Bronwen James, 29, of Chippenham, Wiltshire, appeared at Salisbury Magistrates' Court on Wednesday accused of sexual activity with two girls and a boy over a three-year period.
She is charged with six offences of sexual activity with a child, relating to girls under the age of 16, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act.
James is also accused of two counts of sexual communication with a child and one count of making an indecent photograph of a child, namely a Category C - the least serious category - first generation image.
The former teacher is also charged with four counts of sexual activity with a boy, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
Wiltshire Police previously confirmed that James taught PE at Hardenhuish School in Chippenham and Bitterne Park School in Southampton.
Stephen Harrison, chair of the bench, told James that her case would be heard next at Salisbury Crown Court on August 7.
He said: "You are granted bail with conditions."
The conditions are that James must not contact the complainants in the case or have unsupervised contact with children under the age of 16.
During the hearing, James, wearing a cream outfit, spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth, address, and that she understood proceedings.
