Pupils Shoot Shock DVD
September 22 2005

Film shows kids eating lunch in the school toilets

dvd Shocking footage shot in a filthy, run-down school has been sent to the government by pupils in an attempt to shock them into improving conditions. Pupils at the Joseph Leckie School in Walsall made a 35-minute film showing terrible conditions at their school. The government had made a promise more than a year ago to spend money on the school - but nothing has happened since.

The film shows rats in the playground, decaying stairwells, boarded up windows and holes in the floor. Pupils regularly eat their lunches in the school lavatories which they say are cleaner than the canteen.

Lord Adonis, who was given the DVD at a conference in London promised to investigate the issue. 'The students are quite right to raise the issue with me,' he told The Telegraph. 'I will be in contact with the education authority to see what it has to say about the situation.'
