London: A Sikh school in Britain has reassured its students and their parents that its premises are completely safe after it was claimed that the school was constructed on contaminated soil, media reported on Monday.
Diggers at the Khalsa Secondary School, a free school in Stoke Poges in southeast Britain, were reportedly found to be taking up turf of contaminated soil during re-development work on the premises, the Trinity Mirror reported on Monday.
It has been claimed by the nearby local village residents that the site is a possible threat to pupils and staff as the soil is severely contaminated.
The Department for Education, principal Rose Codling and chairman of Slough Sikh Education Trust, Nick Singh Kandola released a statement on the school's website last week to allay parents' fears, the report stated.
It added that it wanted to reassure people that there was no disruption to students education and no children were put at risk.
An application for the Khalsa Secondary Academy to stay at its Stoke Poges home beyond its permitted one-year agreement, which runs out in September, was rejected by South Bucks District Council in January.
