Dear Parents and Carers,

As you will be aware, at Parkside we are absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of pupils, staff and visitors to the school site.  

Today I requested support from the police and specialist services to help ascertain whether an item that was on the school site was dangerous.  This event took approximately one hour and it was determined that the item was not dangerous. Adjustments to normal learning routines were minimised, and at no point were any members of the school community at risk.

Please contact me at school if you have any questions or concerns in relation to this matter.

Best wishes

Ben Riggott
