Probe - Westcliff's St Bernard's School Picture: STEVE O'CONNELL
Three girls at St Bernard's High School in Milton Road, Westcliff, have been interviewed by the headteacher after being offered tablets from a suspected pusher.
The school, pictured, has revealed the parents of several students have been called in after fears of other incidents.
The school's deputy head, Phil Harvey, said three girls were thought to have received a package through the fence and were later reported by a teacher for unusual behaviour in class.
However, none of the girls had been disciplined as the school's investigation had not conclusively proven wrong doing by the pupils.
