A series of mobiles, built to support a rise in pupil numbers at Hazelwood Integrated College in Newtownabbey, are padlocked.
Hundreds of 6th-formers had to be sent home on the first day of term.
Since then, the school has been teaching its pupils in every available space – including the principal’s office, dining hall and storage rooms.
The row centres on derelict and unoccupied land owned by Belfast Education and Library Board (BELB).
Mobiles, which were built to house the school’s maths department and a new common room, were erected in the summer on the former site of Cedar Lodge special school, which is adjacent to Hazelwood.
