Dear Parents and Carers, We want to inform you about an issue that occurred earlier this morning (11th July – 8.10 am) before the school day started, and to reassure you that this has been fully resolved through the implementation of our safety procedures. A member of staff spotted an intruder at the rear of the PE block, an out-of-bounds area for students. The individual was being pursued by the police in connection with a possible theft and briefly entered the school grounds in an attempt to evade them. The police responded immediately and have since confirmed that the individual has left the premises. At no point were students in direct contact with the intruder, and all necessary precautions were taken swiftly and effectively to ensure everyone’s safety on site. The school day has resumed as normal and the issue is now fully resolved. There is no need for parents or carers to come to the school to collect children, all students are safe and secure on site. Thank you for your continued support. Mr Ludlow
