Black Heritage and Culture
February 10, 2008
Nottingham has in recent years become almost as famous for its crime rate than for its legendary son, Robin Hood. Nicknames such as Assasination City and Shootingham say it all really, so I wasn’t too surprised to hear of boys from a Nottingham school being excluded for bringing in a knife.
That was until I read that they were primary school children.
Three boys have been excluded for seven days and a 10-year-old boy they allegedly threatened has been told to stay away for three days.
A vegetable knife was found in the bag of the 10-year-old who attends St Ann’s Well Junior School, Nottingham.
