When I went to pick up DD1 and DS from school yesterday early (they had an appointment) I saw 4 police officers and a little boy walking back into the school. The nursery teacher came running up and said he was with them. Now I heard what was said, and the boy was quite a distance from the school, according to the police officers. I went to speak to the head today and according to him, the little boy was only missing for 5 minutes, and as soon as the school realised, people were searching for him. I'm not so sure myself, when I arrived both the teacher and the TA were playing in the garden (why wasn't one of them searching??) The secturaty (sp??) asked ME why the police were there, and I overheard the secturaty say that the head should be informed.. and the teacher seemed really shocked when they saw the boy with the police. I don't think they realised he was missing, Now I have spoken to the Head and asked what they are doing to safeguard that it won't happen again, and he said that all the gates springs are being replaced, and he has asked county to put in high fencing. Whether that happens in another matter. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this little one from my dd2's class with the police.
