Leila Jackson, a 43-year-old administrative worker at a Gloucestershire school, is set to face trial after denying allegations of engaging in a sexual relationship with a teenage pupil.
Jackson has pleaded not guilty to five counts of sexual activity with a boy aged 16 to 17, accusations that relate to a period of approximately six months during which she was in a position of trust.
At a hearing held last Friday, October 31, at Gloucester Crown Court, Jackson, from Gretton, Cheltenham, confirmed her identity and entered her pleas without further comment.
