A secondary school has been evacuated and pupils sent home for the day because of a threatening message later deemed "not credible" by police.
Blaise High School in Bristol sent a text to parents on Friday morning saying it had received the threat and had evacuated pupils outside, and a second message saying the threat was "credible" and children were being sent home.
Henbury Leisure Centre, which is next to the school, was also evacuated.
While some pupils were on site, most were yet to arrive and were told not to come in by the school, which has now told parents the threat was a hoax.
One parent sent the BBC two text messages she received from the school on Friday morning.
The first read: "Dear parents, we have received a threat to the school. Students and staff are safe and out of the building, on the astro.
"We are communicating with the police and will keep you updated. Please DO NOT attend the site. We will keep you updated."
