-
Vapes are treated the same as cigarettes and are not allowed. 6 times. None. The remaining questions would be noted on pastoral notes. This task would take a considerable amount of time to complete and would exceed the threshold of cost incurred in responding to an FOI request, and we therefore apply section 12 of FOISA.
Additionally, not all schools keep records of this on individual files or elsewhere, it will be part of the every-day good order and running of a school.
