What type of suspicious act? I smell a fear of being accused of not being politically correct.

Is the school being used as a polling station? In which case it'd be shut anyway.

I said that to someone the other day. Given how secure schools are these days surely you can't just have people wandering in to vote.

only ones used as polling stations.

Looks like a few schools have closed due to a man acting suspiciously. Any idea what he was actually doing?
was it a teacher taking a class with less than 35 pupils?!

Got my kids ready for school today. Walked up to the school with my youngest. His school is half infants and half nursery school. They normally close the nursery side for voting.
Got close to his school. The lollypop lady said he didn't have school today as the whole school was closed. My lad looked up and said "I knew it was closed but isn't it funny that you came here for no reason"
What made it worse is it was pissing it down at the time.

I gave up trying not to laugh. Should have known though. He got ready for school without me saying anything. I normally have to chase him around in the morning.

From what I've heard a more serious incident occurred at one of the other schools which was closed

Don't think that is right. Not according to the head of Coundon Court anyway.
He said he has spoken to police. They say there was the one incident and then it all got embellished on Facebook and other social media.
Not saying it isn't true, but that is what the police told the headteacher at Coundon Court.

Don't know the full incident something along the lines of two men in balaclavas crashed into the back of a womans car, the woman got out to see what was going on. When she saw two men in balaclavas getting out the other car and coming at her she ran to safety in the school. Then apparently they were threatening to kill the children and fled before police arrived.

I have a family member who works at one of the schools and that is what I was told.

What I don't understand is parents received a text saying the school was closed at 10.00 pm last night. That's not agreeing with the statement they were closed as there was an election

It does, I've only heard it retold by another family member who spoke directly to the family member who works at the school so Otis scepticism on chinese whispers could be true. Although it's a pretty big jump from the letter to what I've heard.
They are both very, very, very close family members to me so its not like a your uncles second cousin boyfriends sister type of thing either.
But no lie, that is what I was told.

I do hate social media though for this very reason. There's always been Chinese Whispers, but these days a story can be half way round the world within minutes and there will always been huge embellishment.
Just been working on a stage production for the last 6 months. What was it all about? Chinese Whispers!!!

Yes this sounds like what I was told
The family member I know works at hollyfast primary. This seems to add up and must have been the incident I was told had happened.
