Spiders and cobwebs on the school gates of Godwin Junior School where the school has been closed due to suspected black widow spiders, Forrest Gate, London, 11th October 2018. See National story NNspider; Giant spiders were seen clinging to webs on the gates of yet another school that has been closed due to an infestation by Britain's deadliest arachnids. Scores of webs and bulbous-bodied spiders were seen covering the gates of Godwin Junior School - the eighth to be closed due to worrying numbers of False Widow spiders. In recent weeks, thousands of pupils at schools in Newham, east London, have been told to stay home after the nasty spider - a relative of the killer Black Widow - laid tens of thousands of eggs in the school. The arachnids appear to be among Godwin Junior School, in Forest Gate, east London, where dozens can be seen on their webs between the gaps of the school???s perimeter fence. The school was closed for the first time today (Thurs), and webs can also be seen cascading up and down classroom exteriors as the site remains closed to staff and pupils. A site manager today said fumigators were due to attempt rid the site of the invasive species for the second time today. The pest control team was expected to arrive by 10am to carry out a thorough four-hour fumigation of the school, but it is not expected to reopen before the upcoming half term ends.
