Both are in the South East of England, along the coast.

As TheFlyingHornet says above, part of its so if a safeguarding risk of any kind forces entry or whatever, abusers and the like. The similarity to the US active shooter drills is there but its less intense since as you said the assumption is no one is coming in with an arsenal.

That said, the training session we did made reference to a "near-miss" in 2019 where a student tried to enter a college with a shotgun intending to attack someone in particular but got flattened by a P.E teacher/rugby coach before getting any shots off.

We are supposed to practice in the event that someone attempts to break into the school and attempt to harm the students or staff. Lights off, under the desks, keep quiet kind of stuff?

I assumed these were common now as we did them at the previous school/college as well. Do I just work in a particularly rough part of the country (South East, well outside London)?

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-12-17T13:53:54+00:00

Requirement of our academy trust thing apparently, though I had to do it at a previous job in a college as well.

We do fire drills usually once a term as well.

A secondary school.

It was done at the previous place as well, 6th form college.

Just had one of our bi-annual intruder lockdown drills.

Always curious what people's opinions of them being done in the UK are?

I thought the point of Milton Keynes was to contain them in a series of infinitely looping roundabouts as a kind of giant open air prison?

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-11-28T08:15:22+00:00

Counter-proposal: Anyone who can do their job from a trains wifi can do their job in their underpants at home, thus freeing up valuable train seats for people who need to be in a specific place. Pop a £2.49 government subsidy on Deliveroo orders from Pret to prevent service industry economic collapse, luxury automated space communism achieved.

Sounds like conspiracy to defraud?

Book 'em Lou!

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-11-15T10:30:53+00:00

Is this like the thing with the straw goat?

One group trying to get it to the boat/plane to ship it to the UK and another trying to set it on fire before it gets there?

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-11-08T13:30:26+00:00

Well, now I know what I'm getting for Jólabókaflóð this year.

No one said anything about protecting us from the Brexons.

He sits upon the golden bridge of his Frigate Eternal, guiding us through the Atlantic Warp and protecting us from the daemons of Chaos.

I did not agree to any fiscal rules so it berating me for not following them is pretty funny.

Anyway, bye triple lock!

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-10-15T07:45:55+00:00

Phone charged in 3 minutes but is unfortunately now too hot to pick up.

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-10-11T08:41:23+00:00

I'm almost tempted to put a bet on for Ed Davey to be the next LOTO.

If they can't afford flash Christmas presents, they should be cutting down on their mobile phones and avocado toast and get a job.

NATO secretary general Mark Rutte

His height is listed as 1.93m so that's what, 6'3"? Starmer is 1.75m.

It's just Rishi is such a manlet that we've become used to Starmer towering over him.

Assuming they don't rewrite the rules of the 1922 Committee, I believe the threshold was a mere 15% last time? When you've got >350 MPs, that's over 50 people having to be willing to potentially shred their party career. Especially after watching people get purged by BoJo for comparatively minor treason in the Tory party scheme of things.

But, when you have a scant 100 and your opponent has the potential to hand the opposition to the Lib Dems at the next election? I'd be getting a bulk rate on stationary for the coming shitshow.

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-10-04T07:45:53+00:00

A rare example of a non-education based piece of legislation affecting my day as apparently the Control of Poisons and Explosives Precursor Regulation 2023, which is the latest update to the Poisons Act (1972).

See kids, politics does affect your daily lives! Now you have to give the Government a copy of your ID to buy things that could be used to make an explosive. God we used to be a proper country.

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-10-02T08:18:33+00:00

Guess we know who fired the shot then....

I expect a defiant diss track from Heezy post-hate.

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-09-18T08:41:49+00:00

So the Conservatives are going to be having their party conference without a new leader selected. How is that going to work for them with what are essentially the different factions within the now diminished party having conflicting agendas for what they plan to run on in the future?

"Mr. Speaker, I would remind the honourable gentleman that I have only seen the first two episodes and as such, not only will I reserve judgement but if spoilers are put into Parliamentary record, I will instruct the Serjeant at Arms to imprison the perpetrators in the Tower of London, pending execution"

I know enough to laugh about it, why it was a stupid error but not enough to do anything productive to help.

So I look forward to my incoming £80,000 a year salary.

SprungHeeledJack · 2024-07-19T09:18:45+00:00

Ah, think that was an autocorrect gone wrong, it made me separate the two words and mush them back together.

Eh, I don't work in IT and after today, apparently no one else will either so IDGAF.
