St Paul’s (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School went into lockdown on the afternoon of September 19, 2024, after receiving what turned out to be a hoax call. The school had been alerted to a report of a man with a hammer outside the premises, prompting staff to immediately take action to ensure the safety of the children.
