Around 100 people have gathered outside a school where a male teacher was allegedly stabbed. The victim was taken to hospital following the incident at Tewkesbury Academy, also known as Tewkesbury School, shortly after 9am on Monday.
The school and at least one other were placed in lockdown as emergency services rushed to the scene with families told not to ring or attend the premises. However some parents were unhappy at the lack of information with several taking to social media to voice their concerns.
Now, the school’s headteacher Kathleen McGillycuddy, has responded in a statement saying: “We appreciate that this morning has been a worrying time for all associated with Tewkesbury Academy. We are writing to reassure you that all pupils remain safe and well.
