Of cause a council isnt allowed to out right rubbish a complaint it has received without investigating it, however i think this quote from a council rep comes (proberlly) as close as their allowed to in defending the school....

A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire County Council said it was aware of complaints made by some of the school's neighbours to the environmental health department at Selby District regarding "excessive noise".

"We are not satisfied that a statutory noise nuisance exists from what amounts to normal use of the school and playground areas," she added
I think this is more a case to the school acting too rashly after receiving the complaint. They should have waited for the councils investigation.
