A primary school pupil who was excluded for bringing a bread knife into school has returned to the classroom.
The child was spotted with the blade at Hazlewood Primary School, in Wideopen, North Tyneside, in February. At the time, headteacher Stephane Bommel told the Chronicle a teacher saw the knife as the class were preparing to leave for a school trip.
The pupil's family and police were contacted immediately, and the child was excluded. Now Mr Bommel has confirmed that the pupil has returned to school.
