A disgraced teacher will not fight the decision to ban her from the classroom despite insisting she was innocent.

Married Isabelle Graham, 27, was banned from her profession in August after a disciplinary panel heard she spent the night in a budget hotel with a 17-year-old boy.

Miss Graham, a devout Christian, was judged unfit to teach by a panel that heard allegations that in June 2014 she spent three hours in bed with the schoolboy at a Travelodge in Edinburgh, drinking alcohol and repeatedly engaging in sexual activity.

A photo shared online appeared to show her lying in his hotel bed while he stood in the doorway clutching a bottle of champagne.

Miss Graham resigned from her post at Whitburn Academy, West Lothian, after the allegations surfaced and has relocated to Aldershot.

The former French teacher, pictured on her wedding day, had been expected to fight the decision in court - but decided against doing so

The 27-year-old former French teacher, who gave birth to a son in August, had been expected to challenge the decision to ban her in court.

The former teacher claimed her drink had been spiked and that she had no recollection of the night.

But she has not taken the chance to try and clear her name.

A source explained: 'Her name is now removed from the teaching register, that's the end of it. Graham had the option to seek a judicial review at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

'But despite her protestations of innocence, no papers have been lodged within the timescale allowed to raise an appeal.'

Since relocating to England, she and her husband have been working with Soldiers' and Airmen's Scripture Readers Association, which aims to spread Christianity among troops

An investigation into Miss Graham's behaviour was launched after the photograph emerged on social media.

The image was captioned by one student with the words: 'Poor show from Miss Graham. I had higher respect for my teacher than this. Disgusting.'

Police did not pursue criminal charges but she was charged by the General Teaching Council for Scotland [GTCS].

The GTCS case presenter, Carla Roth, said Miss Graham's actions left pupils 'uncomfortable' and 'somewhat shocked' and told the panel: 'You would have to question what sort of role model was provided in this instance.'

Miss Graham denied the allegations.

Her husband, Andrew Wilkie, also 27, who is training to enter the clergy, acted as her representative at the procedural hearing.

In a statement to the panel, he said: 'In all the time I have known her, she has always put her Christian faith above all other things.

'I have never had any doubt that the allegations made against her were false.'

Mr Wilkie is still employed as a support worker.

It is understood that his wife, who now goes by the name Shona Wilkie, has been on maternity leave.

A spokesman for the Court of Session confirmed no paperwork had been lodged by Miss Graham, while the GTCS said it could not comment on individual cases.

Last night, Miss Graham could not be contacted for comment.
