Headteacher: School not the place for a 'black market'

James Inman, Headteacher at Buile Hill Visual Arts College, said:

We admire this pupil’s entrepreneurship but school is not the place to set-up a black market of fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolates.

We have extremely high standards and with our healthy eating policy we don’t allow isotonic drinks, fizzy drinks and large amounts of sweets for the good of our children.

Our high standards are set out to pupils and their parents at the start of the school year.

– James Inman, Headteacher
