Stuart Woods, 34, plied the “vulnerable” pupils with alcohol to aid his abuse, while teaching at Reddam House Berkshire in Wokingham, Reading Crown Court heard.

The British Gymnastics coach was found guilty of five child sex offences.

Sentencing Woods, judge Edward Burgess QC said his offending “constitutes the most egregious breach of trust”.

The court heard Woods sexually abused the boy on school premises and groomed the girls.

In a victim impact statement, the mother of the boy said her world was “shattered” when her son told her he had been abused by his teacher.

“We carry the burden of guilt too as parents, as we had no idea this was occurring at school,” she said.

“This continues to haunt us… our faith and trust in people has been completely eradicated.”

Woods was also given a sexual harm prevention order for 20 years, a restraining order and made to sign the sex offenders register.
