A vehicle crashed into a school for special needs children while students were being dropped off.
This morning, there was a scary situation at Alderman Knight School in the Ashchurch area of Tewkesbury. As teachers were preparing for the start of classes, a car crashed into the building during drop off time. The impact was so severe that the teachers had to quickly evacuate the affected building. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but a woman in her 40s was taken into custody by the police for dangerous driving.

According to a spokesperson from the police department, emergency services were immediately dispatched to the scene after receiving a report of a vehicle colliding with the school building on Ashchurch Road at around 8:25am. The priority was to ensure the safety of everyone involved, and thankfully, no injuries were reported. However, as a precautionary measure, the building was evacuated and the woman in her 40s was arrested for suspected dangerous driving.

Alderman Knight School is a well-established institution that caters to children aged seven to 19 with moderate and additional learning difficulties, complex needs, and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. The school takes pride in its purpose-built environment that provides a conducive learning environment for its students. This includes specialized classrooms, a life-skills flat, a sensory room, and various outdoor play equipment.

In fact, the school has received praise for its exceptional facilities and academic success from Laurence Robertson, the former Conservative MP for Tewkesbury, who spoke highly of the school in Parliament earlier this year. Despite the scary incident this morning, it is clear that Alderman Knight School remains committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for its students. We can only hope for a quick resolution and return to normalcy for the school and its students.
