An 'ironic' spelling error on a sign outside a school has seen a council admit it 'must try harder'. The mistake was on a bus sign outside Lancaster Royal Grammar School and the school's name was spelled wrongly as "Royal Grammer".
Lancashire County Council, which is an education authority, said it “must try harder” after the mistake. Officials owned up to their “schoolboy error” after passers-by noticed they had spelt the school’s name wrong.
Headmaster of the school, Chris Pyle, told local radio: "The new sign has definitely brought some laughter. Teachers are used to correcting spelling mistakes, and both pupils and teachers have enjoyed seeing this real-world example on our doorstep."
