Pupil brings WWI grenade to school

Pupil brings WWI grenade to school

A school was evacuated earlier this week after an unsuspecting youngster brought a WWI grenade into class.

It is thought that the pupil from the Vale of Leven Academy in West Dunbartonshire brought the device in for a history lesson.

However, teachers and pupils were forced to leave school grounds after a member of staff raised the alarm and contacted the police.

A bomb disposal team was dispatched to assess the device and take it away.

"Staff acted professionally to safely evacuate the pupils to adjacent playing fields. The suspected hand grenade was removed within two hours of the alarm first being raised," a spokesperson for the school said.

In related news, a school in Lancashire hit the headlines last month after a history lesson left some pupils in hysterics.

Youngsters at St Mary's Roman Catholic School in Bacup were rounded up and informed that WWIII had broken out and that London was being bombed.

Pupils were then taken into the school's cellar while staff used sound effects to simulate bombs falling.
