WASELEY Hills High School was closed this morning after reports of a man with a knife.
Police were contacted around 7.15am by a concerned member of the public who saw a man in the grounds with a weapon.
Officers were sent to the area but, when the man was located, it was established it was a member of the construction team who had picked up a pair of scissors found outside the school and was removing them for safety reasons.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: “It was clear that there was no malicious intent and he was part of the construction team working on the school grounds.”
