Bilborough College sent the following email to parents:
« Dear parents / carers, »As you may be aware from your young person, Bilborough College went into precautionary lockdown for around 40 minutes today. We received a report of an intruder from our colleagues at Nottingham University Samworth Academy just down the hill from Bilborough College and so we triggered our external lockdown procedures immediately as a precaution.
« Police arrived rapidly on the scene and after a thorough search of the building gave us the all-clear.
« We must commend students on the way that they went into lockdown processes which are familiar to them thanks to regular and recent drills.Our college is a safe and secure environment and so the lockdown is a highly effective response to such an incident.
« We are now continuing with the college day while remaining vigilant as always in terms of safety and security.
« Thanks for your support and understanding. If you do have any specific issues raised by today’s event, please do get in touch and share your feedback. »
