Police are being called in to speak to pupils at a Belvedere junior school after a youngster brought a blade into a lesson.
Bedonwell Junior School will be receiving a visit from a Safer Neighbourhoods Team officer following the incident on November 28.
A pupil at the Bedonwell Road school, whose age has not been confirmed, was found to have brought a detachable blade from a hand tool into class.
Headteacher Ivor Gordo said: “No one was hurt and we took swift action to confiscate the item.
“After I had investigated the circumstances, I took firm action to prevent any reccurrence.
“The welfare of our pupils and staff is my number one priority and I have invited an officer from our local Safer Neighbourhoods Policing Team to the school next week to give a talk on safety.”
