Schoolboy, eight, left at public swimming pool by teachers The pupil from Cheriton Fitzpaine Primary School, Devon, was still in the changing rooms at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre, Crediton, when a coach load of his classmates were driven off. Mrs Perry said: "We have treated the matter very seriously and carried out a full investigation and we are making sure that something like this never happens again. A full register and head count will now be carried out on board coaches and we will now have a buddy system in place as well. All of the pupils had a letter sent home to fully inform parents of the incident. Lee Chester, leisure centre manager at Lords Meadow, said: "We were very alarmed to hear that one of the school children that had taken part in a school swimming lesson here at the centre had not been checked back onto the school bus. We take our responsibility for children at the centre very seriously. This includes Mid Devon Leisure swim teachers alongside school teachers teaching children in the water while lifeguards have overall safety for pupils in the water and for first aid. He added: "The school is fully aware that it is their responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their children out of the water, when changing and when entering and leaving the building, including making sure they all get back on the bus." An interim assessment by education watchdogs Ofsted last year judged Cheriton Fitzpaine Primary School as good, which is the second highest rating.
