Carbon Monoxide Leak in Primary School

Current AffairsTwenty five pupils were taken to hospital today after a suspected carbon monoxide leak at Crookhill Primary School in Gateshead.  According to the headteacher:

"We became aware of a problem at approximately 11.30 this morning and immediately evacuated the classroom and alerted emergency services as our main concern was to ensure the health and safety of all pupils and staff.   A number of children and their teacher from one class felt ill and were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.   We evacuated the premises at approximately 12 noon on the advice of the fire brigade.   Parents of all children have been informed and the school has been closed. It will also remain closed tomorrow."
