London: School cookery classes are meant to teach the value of nutritious meals made from good, honest ingredients.

But the delicacy served up at All Saints College in Newcastle upon Tyne taught pupils a very different lesson after a prankster sabotaged the proceedings.

The 14-year-old pupil in question smuggled cannabis into the school and added it to a batch of chocolate brownies.

It led to six boys being taken to hospital — including the saboteur. He was arrested after the incident and has since been expelled, while four of his friends, all aged 13 or 14, have been suspended pending an investigation into the incident.

The hash brownies were prepared by the 14-year-old during the morning lesson. He told his friends about the prank and offered them around. The friends say that they tucked into the cakes because they didn't believe the prankster.
