My issue is that many people know exactly what happened. They have been told that by stating what happened, they are pushing rumours. What I know are not rumours, they are facts - yet some people on this forum are suggesting what I have said are mere rumours. If I was told to go in front of a judge and say what I know, it would be taken as fact, especially if others stated the same - yet for some reason, many on this forum dismiss what is being stated as fact as rumour. It's a strange bunch who write on this forum these days.

People can be cruel, evil and twisted, certainly.

It's always been a 20 or so year old man who I see taking food to this cat. I believe he is homeless which made me double take, I asked him once if he needed any help to feed the cat but he said no thanks it's fine. I will confess that it's been about 4 months since I have walked this way on my lunch hour though, it's on a mound of grass just off the tram junction of the roundabout and I used to walk up to Granellis for some sweets but haven't done for a little while now.

This school was built in 2011. It's not the School you went to.

The incident maybe wasn't quite so serious in the end, thankfully, however the head teacher and police DO believe the image is true and matches the person that was initially arrested. That's not the main issue that a lot of parents have though, the school are being lauded as having done everything right. This, sadly is not the truth. If this was a nasty person really wishing to do harm, those teachers who misheard the alarm as an evacuation alarm would have lead those kids straight into an ambush. There were also many different stances taken by teachers, some of whom allowed kids to text home, some who didn't, then some who initially did then stopped. The policy on the schools website suggested how parents would be contacted, they were not contact at all in that method, ever.

Last post was 6 days ago.

Did you not notice the fact that there was somewhere for this cat to sleep, a bowl, a mini shelter etc and almost everytime you pass someone giving it attention? You didn't find it - it's been there for a long time. Oooh look at me I've found a stray.

The head teacher has TOLD people this. You don't seem to know you are not ALL KNOWING. The head teacher has said he genuinely believes the photo is correct. THIS IS FROM HIS OWN SCOTTISH MOUTH. You are deliberately saying that things are not true that are. WHY? It's not a rumour. It's FACT. You have an agenda. Ask Mr Barraclough, he will say everything I have said is the truth, although he will argue that his teachers did nothing wrong, which is not correct, he will then say they weren't trained recently enough, which again then will be fact. You need to either back away from this argument that you don't know anything about, or arm yourself with the facts. I tell you now, for the last time - you can find the facts at the mouth of the head teacher - EXACTLY as I have explained them here. That's not rumour, and in a court of law would be listened to.

What planet are you on. It's been reported, even the head teacher states that he knows the image isn't fake as it matches what the person apprehended was wearing. It's not a rumour, it's a god damn fact. IT HAPPENED! Again, also wrong. Speak to the head teacher. He clearly has stated that most of the staff were not au fait with the current policies. Anyone claiming this is rumour is really not helping the situation.

Far from it. This was an actual situation. Worse than what has been reported here:- https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/forge-valley-school-statement-after-27832095 The truth of the matter is that it was believe a terrorist attack was in place, and many teachers misunderstood the alarm going off, and were attempting to evacuate the kids right into the area where the wood be knife-person would be. It wasn't until some kids and other teachers shouted at them that it was a lockdown alarm and not an evacuation alarm that the flow of children outside of the school was stopped, and they were then told to get back in their classrooms and sit under their desks (look on tik tok for this, search "Forge valley lockdown" tiktok and you will find actual footage. You then get told that the school classrooms cannot be locked, so they had to barricade with desks and chairs. Also, there were three individuals, they only found one. No wonder they didn't find the knife.

Your ignorance does not mean it's not fact. In early 2015, the ‘Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015’ became law. Under the new legislation, schools have a responsibility to actively participate in work that prevents their students from being drawn into terrorism. This involves working with numerous agencies to challenge extremist ideas and monitor pupil behaviour, with the ultimate goal of preventing any kind of terror attack before it happens. However, while these provisions for schools are welcome and effective, the threat of terrorism in schools is still very real. If such a tragedy should occur, what steps should a school take to ensure the safety of its students and staff? That’s where the ‘Dynamic Lockdown’ procedure comes into effect.

I received this. Dear Parents/Carers As you will be aware Forge Valley School went into lockdown this afternoon. This was due to reports, received by school, that an individual was seen with a large bladed item, on their person, on Wood Lane. The school has robust procedures to lock the school down and I am glad that this happened and enabled us to keep all pupils safe. After the police had apprehended the individual concerned and I was certain it was safe to do, I ended the lockdown. Before sending pupils home I gave a live Teams assembly to reassure both pupils and staff. Pupils were then allowed to contact parents to give them reassurance and then allowed to leave the site. I hope this helps clarify the events of this afternoon. Regards Dale Barrowclough It wasn't until my kid got home I realised it was a load of tripe. Had this been a genuine incident, many teachers would have led their kids right into the path of any would person intent on harm as most mistook the lockdown alarm for a fire alarm.| There needs to be better communication. A lot of parents knew something was going off, a lot didn't and the lack of anything coming out of the school caused confusion and concern. The school needs to address the failings of Friday. I shall be calling Ofsted.

Think local, not global.

Just on facebook, and I see that it seems Sheffield Forum appear to not hold the EU in very high regard apparantly. "Right to be forgotten"

So if I had a company out to give me a quote, they should have told me I could get these grants?
