Two teaching assistants at Wortley High School, in Leeds, suffered from dizziness and headaches after eating the hash cakes which the girl took into school last month.

They pair were taken to hospital for emergency check-ups where doctors said that they had probably been drugged with cannabis.

They were discharged from hospital hours later and returned to school the following day.

The GCSE pupil was suspended while the incident was investigated and she has now been moved to a different school.

Neither of the assistants made an official complaint and no police action has been taken. As a result no tests were carried out on the cakes.

Staff are understood to have been warned about accepting food from pupils in the future.

A spokesman for Leeds City Council said: "On September 10, two teaching assistants were taken to hospital after eating food taken into school by a pupil which was later suspected of containing an unknown substance.

"An investigation took place and the pupil was temporarily suspended."

"The student in question has not been excluded from education, but is completing her studies at another school in Leeds." A spokesman for Wortley High School said: "Wortley High School does not condone drugs and was disappointed this incident took place.

"Following a swift investigation, it took appropriate action which removed the pupil from the school while allowing her to remain in education.

"The school works hard to educate its pupils about the dangers and implications of drug abuse and will not tolerate any behaviour of this kind."
