Scots teacher struck off after making ‘£60k a month' on OnlyFans blasts ‘heavy handed' ruling
She was previously warned by her headteacher about her 'poor judgement' on social media 'UPSET' MISS Scots teacher struck off after making '£60k a month' on OnlyFans blasts 'heavy handed' ruling Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTS teacher who has been struck off after pupils discovered her OnlyFans account has slammed the "heavy handed" ruling. Kirsty Buchan, 34, quit her job at Bannerman High School in Glasgow after her saucy side hustle was uncovered. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kirsty Buchan was left disgusted at the decision taken by the GCTS to strike her off Credit: Kirsty Buchan 3 The former teacher previously claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month through OnlyFans Credit: Alan MacGregor Ewing The former physics teacher, of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, was found to be uploading X-rated pictures of herself. And the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GCTS) took action by striking her off the teaching register. The regulation body found that Buchan had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and also concluded that her behaviour lacked integrity. Buchan revealed that she was left disgusted at the decision taken by the GCTS to ban her from teaching, the Daily Record reports. She said: "One thing I hate is injustice but this is what I've had to face since this fiasco kicked off. "They say that because I have posed for some photos online I should never be allowed to teach again. "It's heavy handed and I'm actually upset even though I knew it would go this way. "People can think that I should have gone in and argued my case but I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of that because I think the decision was already made. "I think it's a bad day for people's freedom of expression because I was dealing with an adult site and didn't have any expectation of pupils even seeing the photos. "And my greatest sadness is that I enjoyed being a teacher and I was good at it." Female teacher, 27, had 'sex with student in classroom' hours before arrest as '8-month relationship' exposed Buchan called herself Jessica Jackrabbit on OnlyFans, a site where users pay a monthly subscription to access explicit content. She described herself as a "good teacher gone bad" with a "sexy tight body". Buchan advertised her OnlyFans account through Instagram, which pupils spotted, and previously claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month through the adult site. She was previously warned by her headteacher about her "poor judgement" on social media. Gary Burton, solicitor and presenting officer for the GTCS, said the mum-of-one had "used her profession as a selling tool". He added that Buchan appeared to have backed up her OnlyFans work in media interviews and that Bannerman High was "now synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher". Bannerman High headteacher, Seonaidh Black, said Buchan was a "bubbly and enthusiastic" person who "wanted to do a good job". But she added that on a "couple of occasions", Buchan was unclear on boundaries with pupils concerning her social media profiles being "open where pupils could access them". Ms Black said that a colleague told her images of Buchan's OnlyFans profile were seen by S5 and S6 pupils. Senior schoolboys asked Ms Black if she had "heard the news?" and that she should "look out for Jessica Jackrabbit". Ms Black added that it was "obvious everyone knew what was going on". Following a probe, Glasgow City Council said: "The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute."
