Pupils were seen queuing up outside a school on Monday morning after a new 'search' policy was introduced. The Kingsway School, in Cheadle, said in a letter to parents that from February 27, children would be met by 'senior leaders' at the gates to 'ensure they have everything they need'.
Pictures and videos taken from outside the school, on Foxland Road, and shared with the Manchester Evening News, appear to show huge queues of pupils stood outside after the 'key changes' were implemented.
However, after a reminder was shared by the school to social media, parents complained about the 'ridiculous' queue, with another claiming it took around an hour for her son to eventually reach the doors and that bags were checked by staff.
