Incident

Dear Parents and Carers,

There was an incident involving a member of the public at school first thing this morning and police were called.  Please be reassured no young person was involved. Everyone is safe, and the school day continued as normal.  This is now a police matter and there is no cause for concern.

Best wishes,

Mr Graham
Head Teacher
