🚨 **School Lockdown in Salford Amid Knife Scare** 🚨
Just a day after a shocking stabbing incident involving a teacher and two students, another school in Salford found itself on high alert today. Students at Co-op Academy Walkden were kept indoors during lunchtime due to reports of an individual with a knife in the area.
Parents received a mid-day alert informing them that the police had been notified and were handling the situation. Greater Manchester Police were quick on the scene, arriving within 10 minutes. However, they have since stated there’s “currently no confirmation that a knife was seen.”
This unsettling day comes right on the heels of a terrifying event at Co-op Academy Manchester, where a teacher and students were injured. A 14-year-old girl was arrested following the incident and remains in custody.
In a message to concerned parents, Co-op Academy Walkden highlighted the precautionary measures taken to ensure student safety. They emphasised there was “no known threat” to the academy, but additional precautions were put in place.
The school community is understandably shaken, but it’s important to stay connected and informed. While the police continue their enquiries, let’s keep talking about school safety and ensuring our children feel secure.
Stay safe, everyone! 🛑👫💼✨
