Not just schools. Hundreds of thousands of people would be affected.
"A primary school headteacher has told of her fears for her pupils'
education and health if a third runway is built at Heathrow.
Under the expansion plans, planes would fly over Featherstone Primary
School every 90 seconds - so low the noise could force teachers to
stop speaking. The playground would be even noisier.
The school, in Southall, is one of about a dozen in west London which
could be affected by serious aircraft noise.
It is three miles from the airport, but existing flightpaths skirt
around it. The expansion would bring it within the so-called "57-
decibel contour", meaning it would be subjected to noise levels
described as "highly annoying" in the Government's own studies..."
