NHS report on vaping

New figures from NHS Digital show a decrease in numbers of school children taking drugs and smoking cigarettes but an increase in vaping, with 9% of 11 to 15 year olds currently using e-cigarettes. In PSHE lessons students learn about the dangers. Please be aware that students are not allowed to carry vapes in school and if they are found with a vape they will be issued with a serious sanction.
