Investigation after two P1 pupils walk off Scots primary school grounds

An investigation has been launched after two Primary 1 pupils walked off school grounds in Falkirk.

The youngsters' disappearance sparked a missing persons search after the children vanished from St Margaret’s Primary School in Polmont on Monday March, 22.

They left the playground during a morning interval.

Now the school and council bosses are trying to reassure parents after the incident.

A Falkirk Council spokesman said: "Two P1 pupils left school grounds at the morning interval.

"Staff immediately started a search and the Police and parents were informed.

"The two boys were found shortly afterwards.

"The school has fully investigated the incident and has taken steps to seek to prevent a recurrence."
