salmonbones Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Anyone have info on what went off at Forge Valley yesterday? I heard someone turned up with a machete and the school was put into lockdown. Why no press coverage if that's the case? auto correct for title, sorry Edited September 30, 2023 by salmonbones type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 A post on Twitter suggests it may have been on Thursday, not Friday. But not a peep about it on the Forge Valley FB page or anywhere else I have seen. Very odd. Did it actually happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScratchTheSrfc Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) I was there, a y10 girl was looking for someone, I'm not sure why, she told people she was an adult, it happened yesterday, Friday 29th, she had a machete and did have bad intentions, stupidly, she posted about it on Snapchat, she got arrested and sent to juvie for 2 months, most of the teachers thought it was a fire alarm even though the students tried to tell them it was the intruder alarm so a lot of people were lead out of classrooms, my sister's friend was the one to tell them to go back in, it only lasted a little while because she was quite obviously, stupid I have a video of the assembly we had after giving vague info and a screenshot of the snap the girl sent which had her shadow holding the machete Edited September 30, 2023 by ScratchTheSrfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffandy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Can confirm this did happen Friday at Forge Valley. There are pictures of the arrested individual/s with a large knife on social media. Well done to all staff for following all procedures, and remaining calm throughout. My daughter was very shaken up as a new starter, but as a parent glad the police attended quickly. From what I've heard is 1 girl transferred to Forge from elsewhere had had some disagreement with some other girl and she's come looking for her...with a machete...
