According to the i newspaper, Ofsted sources said an employee was found to be under the influence of Spice – the so-called zombie drug – at one of four sites.

The government watchdog confirmed they – alongside partner agencies – are investigating the conduct of some members of staff, including for drug misuse.

Other concerns related to environmental health concerns and health and safety issues.

Three other PGL sites also had their registrations suspended: Marchants Hill, Surrey, Osmington Bay, Dorset and Windmill Hill, East Sussex.
