- Pupil 'took Class B drug into All Saints College in Newcastle and added it to cake during lesson
- He 'shared cake with four others during lesson
- Another boy was also thought to be involved and taken to hospital but was found to have not taken any
- Police arrest boy, 14, in connection with incident
Six schoolchildren were taken to hospital after one of them allegedly spiked chocolate brownies with cannabis in a cookery class. A pupil is said to have taken the Class B drug into school before adding it to the brownies during the home economics lesson to make space cakes. The 14-year-old is then believed to have shared the cakes with four other pupils, although another boy was also thought to have been involved and was also taken to A&E.
Paramedics and the police were called when the teacher at All Saints College in Newcastle realised what had happened. The teenagers were then taken to Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary to be checked over. All the boys, aged either 13 or 14, were later assessed as showing no ill-effects and discharged later the same day. The year nine pupil who is accused of smuggling the drugs into school was arrested and later expelled. The other four were suspended pending an investigation by the police and school - and a fifth was found not to have eaten the brownies.
