Nottingham schools lock down due to intruder report

Two schools in Nottingham went into lockdown on Tuesday due to reports of an intruder. Students at Nottingham University Samworth Academy and Bilborough College were instructed to hide under their classroom tables. The lockdown lasted for about 30 to 40 minutes. A parent of a Year 13 student described how their class spent the time under the tables. Police quickly arrived at the scene to investigate. After searching the buildings, the police declared it safe. Bilborough College praised the students for calmly following the lockdown procedures, noting that they had practiced these drills recently.
