and I only just found out. DS has just told me that a yr8 boy had knives at school and the police were called, that's all he knows. I thought it would have been normal practice for the school to let parents know via a letter at least, I'm just a bit shocked I suppose.
Our school goes into lockdown a couple of times a year at least. Not cause of anyone inside the school, but usually ex students trying to cause trouble. The school gets a tip off so they go into lockdown.
We never get a letter. We only find out cause of being on the committee's.
I feel for you - I know how horrible lockdown is. DH has to go through at least once every 2 weeks due to gang fights, fires, truant kids gone bad, weapon attacks (both on students and teachers) and verbal threats which could turn into physical threats.
Wow, just didn't think it was that common. This is the first time it's happened as far as I know but at least the school takes the appropriate action required to keep the children safe.
Diane, my DH works in a really rough area, so it's not uncommon there. But if it's a really nice area, then it's not really a common thing. I hope your not stressing too much
Wow, they never had lock down when I was at school. We had someone come in & threaten someone with a knife once. I still to this day don't know if mum knew, coz I don't think I mentioned it.
Scary to know my kids could be there one day.
