The school does not condone the misuse of drugs but recognises that there has been a considerable increase in the abuse of drugs in recent years in Northern Ireland. Sadly, drug misuse appears to be affecting an ever-younger population. We believe that Tandragee Junior High has a vital preventative role to play in combating the misuse of drugs by young people and we therefore include a Drug Education programme in our curriculum. We unreservedly condemn and prohibit the possession, use of and dealing in drugs and any pupil engaged in such activities will be subject to disciplinary procedures. As required by Law we inform the Police when we believe or suspect a pupil to be in possession of a drug. The Principal is the person designated to have overall responsibility for drug issues.
