School Evacuated After Student Brings Grenade to Show and Tell
Osmaston CofE Primary School in Derbyshire was evacuated after a student brought a hand grenade to a Second World War show-and-tell assembly. The head teacher, unsure if the device was live, carefully moved it outside before contacting emergency services. Bomb disposal experts later confirmed the grenade, a family heirloom brought to school without parental knowledge, was safe. Police commended the school staff’s quick thinking and urged parents to check children’s show-and-tell items.
