Schools get alarming email, also sent to schools countrywide. Police say its a hoax but tell schools to check safety plans. There is no real threat.
Police said they know about the email. It went to many schools, some in Cambridgeshire. Other places reported similar emails. This happened nationally in the last week.
Right now, schools in the county aren’t facing a real threat. Still, schools were told to check their safety plans. They should stay alert, the police advised. The police posted an update on Facebook.
They think the email is a fake. They are still checking it out. They will share more when they can. Cavalry Primary School is in March.
They posted on Facebook they did not get the email. They were not one of the schools threatened. The headteacher posted information online. She spoke about recent sad news in Sweden.
A message mentioned school attack threats in the UK. It claimed schools were warned. The headteacher wanted to reassure everyone. Cavalry Primary School got no threat.
Neither did the local authority or the academy trust. The message seems to cause panic. It probably is not a real threat. Cavalry takes safety seriously, she noted.
They practice fire drills and lockdowns often. Staff and kids know what to do. Schools secure the site quickly during lockdowns.
