"I'm glad the school has taken action, but it's very worrying that this happened in the first place."
Another parent claimed she had received no communication about the incident from the school.
She said: "My son came home and told me about it, and I thought, surely not as the school would have sent a message to parents.
"I'm shocked to see it now on social media. The school had a duty to inform parents about what had happened."

"We cannot discuss specific situations but can assure our community that incidents are dealt with promptly and with the involvement of relevant professionals.”
