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.”
