Two pupils, aged four and five, climbed a 6ft fence and walked away unnoticed
Two reception-age boys scaled a six-foot school fence and safely walked to their grandmother’s house before anyone at the school noticed they were gone. The incident, reported by the BBC from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, raises serious questions about safeguarding and perimeter security in early-years settings.
KEY CONCERN: Two four- and five-year-olds were able to leave school grounds undetected. School fencing and supervision protocols exist precisely to prevent this kind of incident.
