Violent Mass School Fight Which Left Teacher in Hospital and Injured Staff Was Caused by “Community Tensions”
A headteacher on Friday blamed bubbling “community tensions” for a chaotic outbreak of violence that saw pupils fighting running battles across school grounds, leaving one staff member hospitalised and others injured. The Mail has the story.
Up to 20 police cars swarmed the school gates as the mass fight broke out at 1,000-pupil Fir Vale Academy in Sheffield at midday Thursday.
Several staff members and students were injured and South Yorkshire Police said a member of staff was sent to hospital with wounds that were not life-threatening.
In a letter sent to parents yesterday afternoon, the school described the incident as having stemmed from “community tensions spilling over onto school grounds”.
The academy school is in the inner-city Burngreave district of Sheffield.
Pupils were able to leave the premises safely at the end of the school day as there was no evidence of weapons being used. …
The new letter, published on the school’s website and signed by Principal Danny Bullock, reads: “Dear Parents and Carers, You will be aware of a serious incident at school this morning which resulted in the police being called. Whilst taking place within school, the incident stemmed from recent community tensions.
“I would like to thank staff and the majority of students who were not involved for their calmness and responsibility during what was an unsettling event.
“We will be doing everything within our power to ensure that those responsible for the incident are dealt with effectively by the Police and the relevant authorities. We are clear that the school is not the appropriate forum for community tensions to be addressed and the school should be a place of respect, learning and stability.
“Behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated and the school will be taking swift, strong and decisive action around this.
“We are proud to serve a number of communities within the school but we will not allow tensions from outside to impact on the day to day running of the school.
“Please be assured that we are taking this incident extremely seriously and we will be working with those across the community to ensure it does not recur.
“The academy will be open as normal tomorrow and we look forward to welcoming students who represent the values of our academy.” …
The latest census in 2021 showed the Burngreave ward had 8,396 people identifying as Christian, 12,692 as Muslim, 271 as other religions and 4,261 with no religion.

Stop Press: It isn’t just in Sheffield. The Mail reports that schools across the country were closed early amid fears that a TikTok trend will set off mass brawls between rival schools.

Well that’s all right then. We don’t want any serious argy-bargy developing amongst “communities” do we?
The article seems a bit light on established facts, therefore we must see what can be gleaned from people sharing stuff on social media. People saying it’s an ongoing issue with Roma vs Muslims in that area. Still none the wiser what made it all kick off to this extent, though;
”One teacher had their leg broken and another had their nose ring pulled out, the fight was between Slovaks and Muslims. Apparently this isn’t the first time either.”

Perhaps this is the TikTok trend being referred to. See the fliers promoting violence below;
”Yesterday, I discovered through a friend’s daughter, that it was *school wars” day. Please use your platform to do something on a national level to stop this Tiktok trend promoting violence.”

As those from families who do not primarily identify with Britain such outbreaks will be routine. Schools will have to be divided.
Thst will match the multi cultural society the old political parties and the CofE have called for for decades.
And by contrast, it makes you wonder how the likes of Katharine Birbalsingh manages with her school. You wouldn’t believe the amount of hate and criticism she gets on Twitter and yet the results speak for themselves. The fact she’s clearly doing something right is irrefutable. I guess the people hating on her would prefer a school where kids bring knives and drugs in and classes are routinely disrupted by aggressive kids violently attacking each other and the teachers. Some people can’t do right for doing wrong according to the forever whingers, who strangely seem to have forgotten what actual discipline, obedience and mutual respect look like;
”Retweets blocked yet look how many views! Why? Because so many people are livid that these children are being ‘abused’. Michaela looks like this too. NEWSFLASH – Kids are happier like this than being beaten up. People have no idea about the reality of our schools.”

”When a school puts the measures in place to avoid this kind of thing, their teachers and leadership get hounded on Twitter and in local/national papers until they relent and roll back. And this keeps happening and will continue to.”

“Behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated and the school will be taking swift, strong and decisive action”
against any far right white children involved
…and that’s the strong and decisive action.
Whether involved or not.
What white kids.? This is Somalian, Bangladeshi and Roma. Sheffield portrays itself the ‘City of Sanctuary’, but this appears to mean cramming diversity together in the poorest parts of the city, and let them get on with fighting each other. Been a problem for 20 plus years, the only solution tried is ‘more diversity’. Fir Vale and Page Hall haven’t been ‘nice areas’ ever, but they are now litter strewn shitholes.
Multi-culturalism working as expected.
Pisslam attacking as expected
To copy a phrase from Richard North on Turbulent Times – ‘It’s them again isn’t it’. Until more detail is published – if it ever is – we cannot be sure that the tensions are not within the muzzies themselves given it could Afghans vs Pakis, or some other tribal subset in conflict. The absence of any Hindus or Sikhs says that no Indian community is involved.
The Roma originated in India, so they are Ethnic Indian by ancestry.
Which “communities” were involved in this “tension”? I wonder if an FOI request
would result in that information being shared. I suspect not. In which case why mention it at all? Why not just say there was a big fight? After all, kids fighting is not exactly new. My old boss, London born of Irish parents, told me there were regular fights arranged between his Catholic school and other local schools- west London, presumably Irish vs English white or Caribbean
It’s those bløødy “Communities” again… So glad I don’t have one … or a “community leader”.
Community tensions – is that the fig leaf behind which multiculti, diversity-macht-strength now poses?
diversity macht strength 🤣
Yes I can quite see that written in metal over the gates
Interesting that the head sees his school as being entirely separate from “the community”.
It’s good to hear that some pupils were enforcing high standards by removing the nose ring of a teacher.
🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting school uniform, I note.
The joy of the multi-culti “nivarna” we’ve had inflicted on us strikes again.
Funnily enough, down here in rural Dorset with its predominately (civilised) native white British population, we don’t tend to get “community tensions.”
Mind you, the Government is doing its level best to change that as quickly as possible by forcibly “enriching” us with the dregs of the 3rd world they are shipping-in across the channel.
“Community Tensions” ——-In other words Sectarian Clutter that the Political Class have facilitated and imported, and despite warnings for decades, they shouted everyone down as RACIST and BIGOTS for wanting to hold on to their National Identity, Culture and Traditions, who were and still are simply ignored and treated like NAZI’s and intolerant fascists.
It’s Ramadan, the season of Rage, when seeing someone eating, or even smelling food, is enough to set off a mini WW3. I wonder if the head teacher allows some pupils to miss parts of lessons in order to pray.
The joys of enforced multiculturism.
“We are proud to serve a number of communities within the school but we will not allow tensions from outside to impact on the day to day running of the school.”
WHAT “communities”?
As we have learned, anything but indigenous. But your Q is rhetorical, of course.
We’re all one big community except when we’re not
Do White British people count as a “community”?
