Local News Story Of The Day: Noisy Toilets In Blackburn School OK Now
NAFEESA Shan brings Lancashire Telegraph readers the Local News Story of The Day:
“STAFF at a school were banned from using toilets during GCSE exams to avoid disturbing pupils.”
Or as the paper’s headline puts it:
Blackburn school staff banned from noisy loos during exams
Banned from using the loos?
Bosses at Blakewater College, Blackburn, switched off the water supply to them after a fault in the system close to the examination hall was deemed so noisy it would cause a distraction. Staff were told they must use toilets in the main part of the building to cause minimum disruption to pupils…
Blackburn with Darwen Council said that a fault in the toilet system involving the airlock caused a large sound when flushed which would distract pupils.
Oh. Do go on:
Harry Devonport, who is director of education at Blackburn with Darwen Council, said: “A small number of staff were asked not to use those toilets because of a fault.. Staff were offered alternative toilet facilities in the main school building – these are not used by any other staff or pupils and were only a short walk away.”
Well…:
“The exams have finished now so staff can continue to use the toilets as normal.”
