Pupils taken ill after 'vaping Class B drugs'

A pupil was taken to hospital and several others also fell ill after smoking a vape suspected to contain Class B drugs at school.

Humberside Police attended Kelvin Hall, in Hull, to speak to those involved and to "establish the full circumstances around the incident".

"Words of advice have been given around the seriousness of smoking or engaging with any form of drugs and, together with the school, appropriate education and safeguarding measures have been put in place," a spokesperson said.

Kelvin Hall confirmed there had been an "isolated incident" and said "staff responded quickly".

The secondary school, which has about 1,600 pupils, has been in contact with parents about the issue.

It said it was committed to "addressing the growing national concerns about the number of young people vaping".
