Pupil excluded from Oswestry School amid drugs concerns
A public school in Shropshire has said it has had to take action over the discovery of cannabis at school.
Oswestry School said one pupil has been permanently excluded from the school, following an undisclosed incident earlier this month.
The school would not elaborate but said the incident was dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
A spokesperson said: "We cannot comment on individual disciplinary cases but are confident that the incident has been dealt with thoroughly and appropriately.”
In a newsletter to parents the school leadership added that a small group of pupils were disciplined with a serious sanction.
"Oswestry School has a strict policy on drugs and our pupils’ safety is, of course, an absolute priority. The matter has now been dealt with; parents and the wider community can be reassured that behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated."
