Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Arsonists Close Accrington School (from Lancashire Telegraph)

Kids who go there will be happy then:rolleyes:

I always used to wish this when i was a kid at my old school, but it never happened!:hidewall:

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

I wondered why there were fire engines outside when i got home sat night / sunday morning

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

The problem is that todays kids can make it happen without fear of punishment. :(

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Probably emzy trying to save on her heatin bill :D

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

I saw them too emzy, didn't look that bad to me. I think the teachers are trying to get a few more days off....... I mean, it was only the staff room!!


Oh saying that, they'll have no-where for a coffee ..... OK shut the school :)

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Yep!!

I tried to have a nosey on the way in but just got called a perv so shut the door

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

LMAO...... me and my mate were having a drink in, singing on karaoke :o ( Did I say singing?? ) and her fella rung us to tell us fire chappies where at the school. I ended up running down the back alley with no shoes on .... mate had to give me a piggy back home after, my feet were killing :D

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Imagine not having another set of details to contact parents. Barmy or what?

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

hmmm.....pretty sure that is against policy and child protection laws......

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

I agree, the advert in the paper was only small too!! I bet there are a fair few kids turning up still :rolleyes:

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

And if their parents haven't heard about it then there could be a lot of grief. How many will think their kids are just skiving?:(

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

just read the comments on that link, someone is saying they got it wrong, it wont be closed all week?

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

I think they have flashy, I was stood there and it didn't look bad to enough to me to be closed all week.

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Dont blame me, I wasnt at home, it was Tania, shes always complaining that my house is too cold, probably couldnt figure out my fire

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

'The use of information required for recording the facts and events of children's lives, for assessing the needs of children and monitoring their developmental progress is fundamental to good, safe practice and better outcomes.'

the law states that the school needs to have the childrens information..... someones gunna be in trouble!

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Incompetant more like

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Surely this information must be backed up somewhere

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

shouldnt it be backed up with the education authority?

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Someone must have something, I cant believe my sitter never saw anything lol

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

lol she was probably asleep ;)

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

No, was awake when i got home, went to window to have a nosey lol

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

I have family who live on wordsworth road, they were waken at about 12 with the alarms and rang 999. Apparently the kids are off school because the firebrigade damaged the server when they extinguished the blaze and theyve lost all the kids contact info and are waiting for the off site back up from LCC Education offices in Preston.

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

God only knows how my sitter didnt hear it, i am opposite the school!!!

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

probably too busy texting :D

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Good point!! but thats no good, how can i find out whats gone on in my neighbourhood if shes not paying attention lol

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Thats sounds so standard for the efficiency of the education authorities it's probably true :rolleyes:

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

:thumbsdowNever happened when I was at school...:fire: closest we got to firemen in school were lessons on how to extinguish our ciggies lmao!!!!:rolleyes::nono8::signthis::D

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Just spoke with my sister in law she sed that her friend who has children at the school rang the educationa and they said there sending letters to all the parents.

There bound to miss a few poor kids wholl turn up on monday and have no home to go back to.

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Told you about throwing your fags out the bedroom window emzy. lol

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Oooops :rolleyes: was hoping no-one would realise it was me

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

Thing is the article in the Telegraph says it's unlikely the kids will go back until Monday 21st - thats the date they were due back anyway???
My youngest goes there and got to admit I thought he was trying to pull a fast one when he said they've got another week off cos of this fire, I mean it happened last Sunday, surely they've had time to sort it out as it was reported in the Telegraph as only a small fire in the staff room.

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

There is clearly excellent communication somewhere. Telegraph doesn't seem to know when they will go back, Observer says Friday and the school says ??????????????????? ( fill in as and when anybody officially finds out !!!! )

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

got letter from education definitely closed monday tuesday wednesday doesnt say anything about thursday when i think there on strike

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

And 2BR are still making announcements that they will go back on Friday. Presumably they are getting the information from the school who seem to be in denial that the teachers are on strike.

Re: Mount carmel!.........fire
 

A strike is a withdrawl of labour. If the school announced it was closed Thursday the teachers could claim pay for that day on the basis that they did not have a choice whether to work or not.
