A SCHOOL has sent Year One pupils home after children were caught smoking a vape on school grounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staff at Brockworth Primary Academy in Gloucestershire found the children, aged five and six, with the e-cigarette.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Medical checks were carried out on a number of pupils following the incident on Wednesday morning, according to Gloucestershire Live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One parent claimed the e-cigarette was brought in by an older pupil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The school has since launched a probe to find out how the item was brought in.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the school said: \u201cWe have written to all parents to make them aware that yesterday an e-cigarette was brought into school from home without parents\u2019 knowledge.<\/p>\n

"As a precaution, medical checks were arranged for the small number of children involved, and all children are safe and well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are carrying out a further investigation into how this happened and will be running a series of sessions with the children over the coming weeks around keeping themselves safe and making the right choices when they are with their friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
