The message home to parents today said: ‘Students will be released when police give permission.’
This marks the second time in less than a week All Saints’ has been locked down, after staff and pupils were given the ‘stay put’ order on January 29 over ‘threats of violence’ between a ‘small number of students.’
This first incident led to those involved being ‘escorted off the premises’ with no violence or injuries reported.
A parent, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Star today: ‘This is frightening to hear so soon after a previous incident and I hope and pray everyone is okay and the incident is resolved peacefully.
‘Now is not the time for recriminations but the school will have some serious questions to answer in the coming days.’
