“In responding to drug/substance or weapons related incidents, schools will follow education authority guidelines. In all such circumstances, parents/carers will be contacted, and their cooperation expected. It should be understood that Police will be involved if drug use is suspected or discovered or, if there are concerns regarding the possession, threat or use of weapons.”

Parents, carers and pupils have a key role in keeping the school community safe. We would therefore urge parents to share any information which would keep everyone safe, and to support and encourage their child(ren) to do the same.
