"As a result, we made parents in the relevant year group aware of the situation and asked them to discuss with their children the importance of staying safe and avoiding conflict at school and within the local community.
"As a school that believes in achieving excellence, we will always take situations like this very seriously, and will work with the police and local community in the interests of community safety.”
