A PLACE OF EXCELLENCE WHERE PUPILS' SAFETY IS TOP PRIORITY
By Scottish Daily Mail Reporter
It is considered to be one of the best state schools in Scotland, so yesterday’s events at Cults Academy left the local community stunned.
The academy is in the centre of the quiet Aberdeen suburb of Cults, near the banks of the River Dee, and recently topped an independent list for non-fee paying schools in Aberdeen.
The hugely popular comprehensive has 1,050 children enrolled, making it one of the largest in the city. Ironically, it is also attached to the local police office.
In 2009, staff and pupils moved into their state-of-the-art school building, which includes an interactive whiteboard in every classroom.
Shortly afterwards, the decision was taken to move the local police office into the facility in an effort to save money.
Now officers covering Hazlehead, Ashley, Queen’s Cross and Lower Deeside are based a stone’s throw from the playground.
At the time, it was argued that having a police presence on site would be beneficial to the out-of-hours security of the new building. But last night nearby residents were in shock at what had unfolded earlier that day. One said: ‘It’s a super school.
‘Cults Academy does not tolerate any form of bullying. We believe all pupils and staff have a right to learn and work in a safe and caring environment.
head teacher Anna Muirhead also appeared at the gates. Before a throng of press and TV cameras, she announced there would be no school today or tomorrow.
The reason was one that few associated with the academy could have begun to imagine before it happened: her school had witnessed the most shocking incident of violence since the 1996 Dunblane massacre.
