The entire sixth year of a school was sent home on their last day after pupils turfed over the floor of their common room.

Teachers at Banchory Academy took the step after it was discovered some pupils had been drinking.



Aberdeenshire Council said it was decided to send all 100 pupils home.

The cost of clearing up the turf has been estimated at hundreds of pounds.
