New photo Parents' fury after freezing schoolchildren are forced to huddle around a heater

Schoolchildren have been forced to huddle around a heater in their winter coats in a chilly portable cabin.

Parents have been left furious at the situation two months after the school in the East Dunbartonshire Council area is said to have first had problems with the heating.

They have also complained that paint is peeling from the ceiling and falling on desks, and fears are now building that the conditions are making pupils unwell. 

Parents have been left furious at the situation two months after the school in the East Dunbartonshire Council area is said to have first had problems with the heating

One parent with children at the school, which has not been named to protect the children's identity, told the Daily Record: 'It is like something out of Charles Dickens.

'You can see five lucky kids who got to sit beside the heater and they still have their coats on.

'There was a problem with the school thermostat two months ago and the heating boiler now doesn't work at all.

'The classrooms have been set up in portable cabins outside which do not have working heating. The children wear jackets during class.'

Ann Davie, deputy chief executive of education, people and business at the council, told MailOnline: 'The photo relates to an issue last Friday morning when it was discovered that there was no heating in the Portakabins.

'Investigations were carried out and engineers were called when the problem could not be resolved immediately. 

Parents of children at the school have also complained that paint is peeling from the ceiling and falling on desks, and fears are now building that the conditions are making pupils unwell

'At 10am, the children were moved to the main building which was warm and unaffected by the heating problems. They remained warm and comfortable for the rest of the day.

'While I understand that some parents may be concerned, issues like this can happen but staff acted quickly to resolve it.

'The council's property team works closely with the heating contractor and we are aware of other recent problems with the heating. As a result, a new heating system will be installed. 

'The process of procuring that will begin early in the new year. We are also looking more broadly at the condition of the portakabins with a view to making improvements.

'The health and safety of pupils and staff is paramount and I'd like to assure parents and carers that at no time are children being education in an unsafe environment.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
