St Wilfrids High School, Blackburn.
A HIGH SCHOOL finance officer used the school's credit card to fund away days with the girls.
Blackburn magistrates heard Ann Marie Mitchell splashed out £706 on train tickets and also bought a £1,000 MacBook Pro and an iPhone using the St Wilfrid's Academy, Blackburn, bank card.
After suspicions were raised the head teacher compared Mitchell's Facebook activity with train transactions and realised they matched her weekends away rather than school trips.
Mitchell, 48, of Hollin Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to 11 charges of fraud by abuse of position. She was made subject to a community order for 12 months with conditions she completes a thinking skills programme and 200 hours unpaid work. She was ordered to pay £706 compensation to St Wilfrid's, £85 costs and £85 victim surcharge.
