STABBING OF ANN MAGUIRE TRIGGERS NATIONAL DEBATE OVER SECURITY IN UK. SHOULD ALL SCHOOLS BE SCREENING THEIR PUPILS FOR WEAPONS?

The stabbing of Ann Maguire in front of her pupils triggered a national debate over security in UK chools last night.
Head teachers demanded stronger backing for schools which choose to introduce airport-style metal detectors and frisk pupils for weapons.
But they said schools must not be ‘locked down’ in the wake of the incident.
Staffs have repeatedly voiced concern over the risk of violent attacks on school premises.

Latest figures show that 550 pupils a year are expelled from schools in England for assaulting a member of staff and 17,000 short-term suspensions are handed out.
Last week, police disclosed that nearly 1,000 children – 80 of them primary pupils – have been caught taking weapons into school in three years.
A survey of teachers found that more than half have been subjected to verbal abuse or threats from pupils.
