CONCERNED PARENTS of students at Blackman And Gollop Primary are frustrated over what they are calling a lock-out of pupils each morning.
Within recent months, parents and children have been arriving at the Staple Grove, Christ Church school to find the gates locked. As a result, they have been forced to wait outside until someone arrives to open, sometimes well after 8:30 a.m.
When a NATION team visited the school on four separate mornings last week before 8 a.m., it was discovered that the students were, in fact, confined to the outskirts of the school until someone arrived to open the gates, sometimes before 8 a.m. and other times after.
It was also observed that while many parents dropped off their children and left, there were those who stayed in their cars and kept a watchful eye until the school gates were opened. (RA)
