A teenage girl has been arrested for an alleged assault on a female member of staff at King James’s School in Knaresborough this afternoon.
The girl is also being questioned by officers about criminal damage following today’s incident.
North Yorkshire Police said in a statement:
“Police were called to King James’s School, King James Road, Knaresborough, at 3.10pm on Monday (20 March 2023) following reports of a disturbance involving a group of youths.
“Officers attended and arrested a teenage girl for an alleged assault on a female member of staff and criminal damage. She has been taken into custody for questioning.
“Two other teenage girls were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace.
“None of those arrested attend King James’s School.”
Carl Sugden, headteacher at the 1,575-pupil school, also told the Stray Ferret he could categorically say none of the pupils involved in the incident was from King James’ School.
In a letter to parents, Mr Sugden said:
A group of young people, who are not connected to King James’s School, came onto the school site with the clear intention of causing trouble.
“Our staff were on hand to stop them, they did not gain access to the building, but unfortunately we needed some police support to remove them.”
The police statement said “enquiries are ongoing to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the incident” and urged anyone with information to get in touch on the North Yorkshire Police website or by calling 101 and selecting option 1.
