Lockdown Update

Irony does not seem to escape Hampstead, simply fester there, left on an English classroom display, not understood. Last Thursday's Camden New Journal article on the school’s lockdown drill told of the Met police advice to schools to be “alert, not alarmed”; what does the school do? Set up an alarm.

A quote from the Head described it as “similar to a fire drill”. If by similar they mean entirely different, as it is (because the last thing you want is everyone in a wide open space), then yes, it is similar to a fire drill.
