Classroom changes at local schools

Children and staff returned to King Edward VII Lower School, on Darwin Lane to a larger playground last week. During the summer recess two mobile classrooms erected three years ago to cater for an increase in the school intake were removed, returning the playground back to its original appearance.

Across the playing field, neighbouring Lydgate Junior School has craned in a new mobile unit with two additional classrooms for the new school term. The school is undergoing a full heating system upgrade; the mobile classrooms are a temporary measure hopefully until Easter 2013 to allow the upgrade works to continue without any disruption to the running of the school.

King Edward VII school in appeal to Crosspool dog walkers

A Crosspool school is asking dog owners to keep their dogs on leads while they’re on the school site between 8am and 5pm and also think about where their dogs leave their waste.

In recent incidents at King Edward VII middle school on Darwin Lane, teaching staff have experienced dogs running at students and exploring the school’s all-weather pitch during PE lessons.

The school’s Education Manager Laura Drabble commented: “I appreciate that these dogs may only be friendly but to a student who is afraid of dogs this can be quite upsetting.”

Reminding dog owners to think about where they deposit dog waste, Laura explained: “Students have been complaining of dog mess in the bins they use for their litter. In warm weather the smell is very unpleasant. Dog walkers should also only use the red dog bins for their dog mess. We would also respectfully ask that owners do not let their dogs urinate up railings and posts on the school site where students often sit and play.

“We don’t wish to upset residents but we do have a duty of care to our students.”

Crosspool schools in ice cream van row

The council’s licensing board meets today to discuss concerns from Tapton and King Edward VII lower school teachers regarding the safety of pupils as they are drawn onto Darwin Lane at busy times in order to buy from the ice cream van.

In January, a boy was hit crossing the road to reach the van. Ice cream man Chris Turner has been trading on the site since May 1971.
