Dear Parents and Carers,

As you will be aware, the school was put into lockdown earlier today after we received a threatening phone call.  Following an investigation, the police confirmed that there was no threat to students and, within half an hour, the school was operating as normal.

We always take incidents like this very seriously and immediately actioned our response plan.  The police commended our policies and procedures and I am very proud of the way in which our students conducted themselves.  They behaved sensibly, calmly and responsibly and I would like to thank them and our staff for their professional response.

 The school day is carrying on as normal.  Students are in lessons and continuing with their learning.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Yours sincerely,
