KINETON High School went into lockdown and police were called after three masked youths entered the grounds.
Officers were called at just after 10.15am on Wednesday (April 19) and pupils were kept inside the school and told to hide under their desks as a precaution while the intruders were traced.
Parents have reported receiving frightened text messages from their children as they hid and teachers barricaded the doors to the classrooms.

There is no wider risk to the pupils or teachers who are all safe and well, the force added.
No offences have been established currently, however enquiries are ongoing.
