Conjunction at the beginning of a sentence

it is said that unless it is necessary, it is best not to begin a sentence with a conjunction namely, "and".

e.g. She was one of more than 1,200 students who were collecting their A-level results at Raffles Junior College (RJC) that day. And one would have thought she had failed the national examination.

in what circumstances shall it be allowed e.g. a poetic expression?

It is allowed to writers who know what they are doing; it is recommended that ESL/EFL learners and native college students avoid the practice, as it usually leads to short choppy sentences.
