Kent | Teacher lit cigarette in lesson 

A teacher at a private school has been reprimanded after he lit a cigarette and offered it to pupils during a lesson.

In a statement the Canterbury Steiner School, in Chartham, Kent, said Jim McIntee, carried out the act to "positively discourage smoking".

It said he received disciplinary action but was a valued member of staff.

Parent Martin Roche said two or three people had removed their children but most parents trusted the school.
