### In Normal Times

Before the Disease, Borough Park School was run by a Mr. Higgins. The school was attended by a total of 1,100 pupils across 5 years and 2 years of sixth-form in the separate college building. Danny Travis, Jake Connor, Matty Brummell, Mark Smythe, John Trends, Tommy McCole and Steve and Andy Biggs were all year 10 students there in 2010. The head of year 10 was Mr. Cummings, who was particularly strict and taught maths. Mr. Cummings taught an 2nd top set maths class with Danny Travis and Tommy McCole in it. Mr. Cummings was very annoying and had a passion for giving out detentions while his boss, Mr. Higgins was a relaxed, smiley man. The school was known in the area for being the five time winner of the West Manchester Maths Competition.

### During the Disease

When the Disease broke out, Mr. Higgins stopped all schooling immediately, but made the school a place for students to stay if their parents were ill or dying from the Disease. Mr. Higgins, Mr. Cummings and five other teachers started living there full-time to look after the 100 or so students who stayed there while other teachers visited daily. However, when Mr. Higgins died and Cummings became an infected, the students began to take charge themselves and invited their former classmates to join their “sanctuary”. John Trends, a year 10 pupil who deemed himself the new headmaster, became the leader and helped keep organise the members of their sanctuary and make sure everyone was alright and that the infected were kept out. Tommy McCole became the school’s new head of security and, alongside the Biggs twins, led the security force. The school was relatively safe for a short while, but the infected started getting back in after a period of time.

### The Borough Park School Sanctuary

After all the grownups had died, the pupils remained living at their school. John Trends made sure that everyone was part of one of the five divisions in the school. The “central staff” consisted of division leaders, him, and his advisors. The security force was lead by Tommy McCole and consisted of about fifty kids. The cooking staff used the large supply of foods to keep them going. The scavengers were a group of about twenty individuals who went out every second day to collect more supplies, food, and weapons. The gardeners, of which there maybe fifty, were attempting to grow food and crops. The general population were the last 25 or so people who didn’t have much to do on a daily basis. The Borough Park School Sanctuary was destroyed by an attack of the infected that was led by the diseased Mr. Cummings. John Trends told Tommy McCole to handle the problem, which would be tricky. Trends took two personal bodyguards with him in his attempt to escape, but was cut off and torn apart by the starving horde. The school was ravaged, and only Tommy and the Biggs twins survived. The school became an infected nest and so people rarely went nearby.
