    These are all muck up day pranks:

    - Many years ago somebody changed the 'a' in 'grammar' (part of my secondary school's name) to an 'e' on the sign outside, which I thought was pretty funny.
    - I had quite an Oxbridge-orientated headteacher so one year someone sent out a letter in his name to the effect that 'all students will be required to apply to Oxbridge and there will be some penalty (I can't remember what it was) if your application is not competitive.' Amazingly lots of parents believed the letter and needless to say there were lots of complaints. The student who wrote it got suspended, but I thought it was funny all the same.
    - My GCSE year went absolutely nuts on muck up day. They completely trashed the school and put honey and that paint that leaves a stain on whatever tocuhes it all down the bannisters and around door handles. To be honest, that day wasn't particularly funny.

    At my school the worst one was they let grasshoppers or something into the ventilation system. There were heavy-handed repercussions to that one, mind...

    Honey/similar on door handles and bannisters. Again, could be punished... The IT corridor used to get flooded with balloons on leavers' day - that's quite a 'safe' one to do .

    A for sale sign put on top of the school was a particularly funny one . Tiles on the roof got broken though, so again, trouble was made .

    You thinking of pulling some pranks ?

    We locked our Welsh teacher in the cupboard, and used the remaining time to play hangman on the whiteboard.

    that is a good one.

    some people in the year above locked their teacher in a cupboard as well and he completely broke down - crying and all.
    the year above left the teacher in their the whole night :eek: . The teacher left

    my school is pretty boring, one time the geography teacher left the room, so someone put the door wedge in the door (from inside) so she couldn't get in the classroom.

    We once hid in the cupboard when the teacher left the room. Surprisingly we all fit in there, just about.

    We once locked a teacher in the cupboard.

    Another time when a teacher left the room we swapped rooms to the identical room next door. We thought it was funny but she went mad at us.

    I'm sure there's more but I can't think of any right now.

    We once locked the teacher out of the science lab. While the whole class was inside.

    We always used to nick the dry paints in art and throw them over each other.

    A girl once put some glue on a teacher's chair. Unimaginative but effective.

    Once our Head of Year made us go to assembly, but therre wasn't one. Her idea of an April Fool's Day prank. We were'nt laughing.

    Nothing major really happened at my school, but there were little pranks every week, like stink bombs and such. There was one month when stink bombs were set off pretty much every day. The whole school had to be emptied a few times it smelt so bad.
    My one friend managed to set a rape alarm off and fluh it down the toilet, so the sound echoed around the whole school via the plumbing system

    Somebody **** in another persons bag at my school. Disgusting, but as I wasn't the victim, pretty funny. A week long investigation then pursued to find the culprit of this filthy crime


    Not sure why i'm being negged, I didn't do it!

    One girl during break was water ballooned once. She laughed at it afterwards and so did her friends.

    Stink bombs almost every day too.
