POLICE were called to a secondary school yesterday after an incident involving a student from another school who had to be restrained and removed by staff.
The teen entered Kirk Balk Academy on West Street, Hoyland, yesterday morning.
Principal Dean Buckley confirmed that a student who does not attend Kirk Balk entered the academy without permission and had to be removed.
“Staff dealt with the situation promptly and no student or staff member at Kirk Balk was harmed in the process,” he said.
“I would like to reassure all parents and students that the safeguarding of all the children in our care is our main priority.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
