Grammar school foundation fined for fire breaches

摘要

WAKEFIELD GRAMMAR School Foundation (WGSF) has been fined £10,000 over fire safety offences at a number of its schools in 2017. In September last year, WGSF and its former fire risk assessor Dr James Gibson were prosecuted by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority (WYFRA) over issues at three schools. The case at Leeds Magistrates Court heard that fire protection inspectors visited Wakefield Girls' High School in February 2017, where they noted concerns including coat hooks lining escape routes and a 'partially obstructed' final exit door, before a follow up noted further issues.
