A Greater Manchester school went into 'lockdown' this afternoon as police raced to the scene following hoax reports of an intruder.
"The police attended and gave the all clear once they were content that there was no threat to students and staff. As soon as it was deemed safe, lessons resumed as normal. "Officers attended and no-one was located, with the incident currently being treated as a suspected hoax." “She was meant to be having extra class, but I have sent a message asking for her to come home” he added. “The school has done the right thing and followed all the right procedures. The communication just isn’t quick enough, especially when there’s so much speculation.”One parent of a child in Year 7 said he wasn't told much about the incident initially.
