Sheffield school closes after sexual assault claim

Greenlands Nursery Infant School in Sheffield will be closed on Tuesday, after an allegation of a serious sexual assault on a child at the school. A person has been arrested, questioned and released on police bail in connection with the alleged assault. Council officials and police met parents at the school on Monday evening. The meeting was attended by about 250 parents, some of whom had to wait outside as the school\'s hall was full. Speaking before the meeting, Sheffield City Council\'s director of Children and Young People\'s Services, Dr Sonia Sharp, said: \"We\'re going to meet with parents to talk with them about what process will be followed from here, but also to offer them support. \"So, that if any parents feel they want to talk to somebody individually, or their children need support, we can provide that as well.\"
