Police are continuing to investigate an incident of “malicious communication” which forced an Ipswich school to evacuate.
Students and staff at Stoke High School Ormiston Academy were evacuated on Tuesday after reports prompted a major police response.
Suffolk Police were called to the school in Maidenhall Approach shortly after 8am, following concerns about communications received by the school.
Ormiston Academy said the evacuation followed information concerning the safety of the site.
An Ormiston Academy spokesman said: “As a precautionary measure, the school carried out a full site evacuation today after receiving information about the safety of the site.
“In line with our robust health and safety protocols, we contacted the police immediately.”
Police attended, carried out checks and confirmed the site was safe.
During the incident, social media speculation suggested the threat involved a bomb warning.
Neither the school nor police confirmed those claims.
Suffolk Police said on Wednesday that enquiries were continuing.
No arrests have been made.
