when I read this I thought it was April Fools Day,
but no it is true, kitchen staff were ordered to cook rectangular or square snacks instead after a pupil was hit in the face by a flying triangular oaty morsel, the Year 7 lad suffered a “sore eye” when he was accidentally struck in the face by the 4in-long snack thrown by another child,
concerned teachers at the school immediately saw the danger and issued warnings about the deadly flapjack, headmaster Gill Thomas quickly decided to ban kitchen staff from baking the three-sided desserts — ruling only rectangular or square flapjacks should be served,
a source said, 'it is true, it did happen, the head teacher made the decision, I think whoever was in charge of the cafeteria reported the incident and from there the decision was made, it only covers flapjacks at the minute, the flapjacks are made on site', less than 24 hours after the food fight, school manager Keith Evans gathered the cooks and dinner ladies to tell them triangular flapjacks were off the menu,
the tasty oaty treats can be sold only in four-sided shapes to ensure the 1,200 pupils can eat without fear of injury,
a school insider said, 'apparently it’s a health and safety issue, staff have been told to stop making triangle-shaped flapjacks immediately',
an Essex County Council spokesman confirmed the school’s decision but refused to comment, both the school and head teacher also declined to speak on the subject last night, there I was thinking it was an April Fools spoof, but that is not until next Monday- so watch out then!
