Hardly worthy of the dramatic Headline i would have thought!

You're spot on
As somebody who works as a Clerk to Governors for some of the Hyndburn School and with over 40 schools in Hyndburn it's just over 2 per school per year and I can assure you that the schools are rigerous in reporting such incidents to Governing Bodies
Yet another lasy bit of reporting in what a guess is a quiet news week
