Parents at Ferryhill Primary School in the north of Edinburgh have threatened to take their children out of the school in protest as they claim the environment is "unsafe."
A motion heard at the Education committee today at Edinburgh City Council (June 6) stated that Police Scotland had been called to the school on several occasions due to reports of "violent" behaviour.
Problems have become so severe at the school that the parent council released a statement on June 5 asking for a "strike" day to take place to try to force change. Parents have said that their decision is in no way an attack on the school or its staff but rather an attempt to try to get help for the educational setting to deal with unruly behaviour.
