The story below has already been magnified into shocking anecdotes about poor kiddies being jostled as they cross the 40ft high (I’m guessing) footbridge that’s the only safe route to the Abbey School.
The photo by virtue signaller extraordinaire Cllr Hannah Perkin was taken from the bridge: there is no other way that this angle is possible.
Both our sons attended this (crappy) school**, both hated it, and I never for a second blamed them for doing so.
** Ah, excussez moi: not a mere school, a Business And Enterprise Academy. Translation: the area’s working class are groomed for the trades, secretarial roles, etc. The future professional class attend the QE grammar a mile up the road.
