School plunges into ‘lockdown’ with doors locked & ‘nobody allowed out’ after receiving ‘threat’
A SCHOOL has been plunged into “lockdown” after receiving an ominous “threat” with all the doors quickly being locked.
Pupils at Ysgol y Grango in Rhosllanerchrugog in Wrexham were told they weren’t allowed out after an alert that was sent out at 2.40pm today.
A message to parents was sent out by staff to warn parents of a “lockdown situation.”
They were told explicitly not to collect their children as no one was allowed in or out of the premises.
The message read: “The school is in a lockdown situation.
“During this period the switchboard and entrances may not be staffed, external doors locked, and nobody will be allowed in or out.
“Please do not come onto school site or try to contact your child.
“We will be in contact with more information soon.”
Cops attended the school after reports from staff about a student threatening another pupil.
They assured staff and parents that there was no longer cause for concern.
A statement from North Wales Police read: “We received a report from staff at Ysgol Y Grange regarding threats made to a pupil at the school by another youth.
“Officers attended to provide reassurance at the school and are currently speaking with all parties involved.
“There is no ongoing cause for concern.”
