Students evacuated from Cornish school after "threatening" anonymous phone call
Penair School say all children are "safe, well and accounted for"
A school in Cornwall is closed after receiving an anonymous "threatening" phone call.
Penair say all children have been sent home as a result, following the incident this morning (Thursday 30 March).
In a statement they say that they are working with local police and will provide more updates when they can:
"We received an anonymous phone call this morning threatening the security of the school and as a result evacuated all of the children and staff to the astroturf and all are safe and well.
"However we have decided to implement our snow closure procedures and will be sending all of the children home.
"We are awaiting buses to collect the children, all children who walk will leave the site in the next 10 minutes. We are also being assisted by the local police.
"Once again I can confirm that all children are safe, well and accounted for. If you wish to collect your child in person, please park on the main road outside of the school building and walk to the second entrance where a member of staff will meet you, collect your child to go home.
"We will provide a further update when we are able."
Police tell us that they are in attendance to help with searches of the building.
