A leavers’ year book at a Bradford secondary school is being pulped after printing because it was littered with inappropriate comments by some students.

In the souvenir publication for Laisterdyke Business and Enterprise College, one pupil responded to a question ‘what they will miss most’ by writing “smoking a joint at the back of the field”.

In a section ‘friends say most likely to be’, another wrote a “drug dealer”.

Some other responses were too offensive to be printed by the Telegraph & Argus.

Attempts have now been made by horrified staff to retrieve all copies of the Laisterdyke Leavers Class of 2014 so that they can be destroyed.

The T&A has been told that some students were taken out of lessons to be driven home in the school minibus to collect them.

College principal Jen McIntosh said the year book was produced by students who were leaving the college and admitted it should have been checked before it was printed.

She said: “We have taken immediate action to rectify this mistake. We have contacted all the parents and pupils who received the book to ask that they return it and to apologise to them for any offence caused by the language used by a small minority of our students.”

One man who contacted the T&A, but did not want to be named, said: “I witnessed a friend’s child being brought home and thought it wrong in view of the fact they were pulled out of lessons in exam time to return the books and told that the cost of the reprint would be from the end of year activities which could be cancelled.”

He added: “In other words damage limitation was more important than the children’s education. Disgraceful.”

Mrs McIntosh stressed the summer examinations were the school’s priority at the moment but she said: “Once exams are completed, we will carry out a thorough investigation to establish how this happened.”

Last month the school’s entire governing body was sacked and replaced with an interim executive board over concerns about its “actions and effectiveness” following a critical Ofsted report.
