A female PE teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old pupil told a court she was not a very good teacher but wanted to be popular with students.

Bronwen James said she was 'immature' when she became a teacher around the age of 21 and was 'very lenient' with pupils, allowing them to use their mobile phones and listen to music during lessons.

James, now 30, is on trial accused of four counts of sexual activity with the teenager, which she denies.

She is said to have taken the pupil, who attended Bitterne Park School in Southampton, to her home for sex after organising meetings on Snapchat.

He said they had sex at her house while they watched Wimbledon and she asked him to call her 'Miss'.

The trial continues.
