\n Police received reports about an incident at the school on Wednesday morning<\/p>\n
Armed police officers were also at the school, reported the Eastern Daily Press.<\/p>\n
The school went “into lockdown” and children remained in their “classroom with their teacher”.<\/p>\n
Owen Jenkins, the chief executive of Broad Horizons Education Trust, which runs the school, said: “We have clear procedures in place and our staff acted swiftly, with the whole school going into lockdown with children staying in their classroom with their teacher.<\/p>\n
“One of our students was injured and is now being treated in hospital for minor injuries.<\/p>\n
“This has obviously been a distressing experience for our whole community and our focus now is on making sure all students feel supported as we begin to understand what happened.”<\/p>\n
Norwich North MP Alice Macdonald wrote on social media: “Reports from Thorpe St Andrew School are incredibly serious and deeply alarming.<\/p>\n
“Immediately, we need to give the police time to ensure that everyone at the school is safe.<\/p>\n
“My thoughts are with all of them and their families, especially the victim who has been taken to hospital.”<\/p>\n
