Two West Lothian secondary schools saw a surge in recorded incidents of physical and verbal incidents in the last year, according to figures released this week.
A total of 66 incidents were recorded across the twelve high schools in the county. An education chief assured councillors the recorded incidents had been mainly verbal: pupils swearing at teachers.
The figures were presented in a report to the council’s Governance and Risk Committee as part of a report on the management of Health and Safety across the council.
