Caron Britton said that lessons must be learned after two young women and a child were injured during an incident at Birley Academy on May 1. A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with three counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm. Two women in their 20s and a child suffered minor injuries that did not require hospital treatment, said South Yorkshire Police.
They co-run the S12 Community Pantry at Scowerdons Community Centre and recently won their campaign for a pedestrian crossing on Birley Spa Lane, close to Birley Spa Primary Academy and St John Fisher Catholic Primary School. Caron said: “When that happened up at Birley Academy, my son phoned me and he’s only in Y7, in a right state. He said, ‘Mum, I’m really, really frightened and dont know what’s going on. We’re hiding under tables’. “It was very frightening not knowing what was going on.
