LOL I wonder if they were the same Geordie kids who were on our guestbooks a few months back?
Students from Hirst High School in Ashington gathered before lessons on Friday, chanting and waving banners.
At one point eggs were thrown at police but there was no damage and no arrests.
Northumberland County Council said the action was “based on unfounded rumours of such issues as the banning of non-uniform days and discos”.
Police said between 70 and 100 students at the 870-pupil school took part in the demonstration.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: “The pupils were agitated and later dispersed but we are continuing to monitor the situation throughout the day, working in conjunction with the school.”
The council condemned what it said was the “irresponsible actions of what appears to be a planned protest by a small minority of pupils outside the entrance”.
