Jeremy Forrest is accused of fleeing to France with a schoolgirl
A married teacher fled to France with a teenage pupil the day after police questioned her about the nature of their relationship, a court has heard.
Jeremy Forrest, 30, and the girl, who cannot be named, took a cross-Channel ferry to Calais before spending seven days on the run.
His behaviour was a "gross breach of trust", Lewes Crown Court was told.
Mr Forrest, who taught at Bishop Bell C of E School in Eastbourne, denies child abduction.
Richard Barton, prosecuting, told the jury: "This is not Romeo and Juliet; this is a 15-year-old girl with her own vulnerabilities, and a 30-year-old teacher.
"When parents send their children to school, they quite properly expect that those who teach their children will care for them properly."
The trial of Mr Forrest, of Chislehurst Road in Petts Wood, south-east London, is due to last two weeks.
