EGG BOXES are to return to craft lessons at an East Sussex school after they were banned over health fears. The head of Wallands Primary School, in Lewes, said he had
been enforcing the ban, believing the reason was a risk of spreading salmonella. After meeting county council chiefs, he said he would soon be able to let pupils use the egg boxes again. But East Sussex County Council said it had never banned the materials at any school and there had been a mix-up. Brian Davies, head teacher at the school, said he had been stopping pupils bringing in egg boxes or used toilet rolls for several years. He said he was told they were unsafe by the council and thought it was due to fears that salmonella could be spread to the schoolchildren. Mr Davies said: “It’s the sort of thing we get the whole time these days.” BBC News 21/6/05.
