Almost one in five teachers have seen students with knives in England's schools, Sky News survey finds.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, in an interview with broadcaster LBC last week, said she would support schools that wished to use walk-through metal detectors, also known as knife arches.
Sadly, this is completely contrary to how schools want children to feel about school and their learning journeys.
