School allows students to have cigarette breaks
The headmistress of a school for pupils with extreme behavioural and emotional problems has been critised for allowing children as young as 14 to take cigarette breaks.
Students at the Honeyhill pupil referral unit in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, are given 10-minute sessions twice a day to smoke under the supervision of teachers.
Headteacher Claire George said the practice helps the teenagers, many of who have emotional, social and behavioural needs which can not be met in mainstream education, to concentrate and encourages them to turn up for lessons.
