There was an incident at Lincluden Primary School last Wednesday where one pupil was found to have brought a blade into the school building with them.
Following the discovery, the weapon was removed from the pupil’s possession.
A Dumfries and Galloway Council spokesman stated that Police Scotland and the relevant authorities “were informed” and the “appropriate action” has been taken with the youngster involved.
The spokesman added: “Nobody was physically injured and the incident was handled in a timely manner.
“Parents, carers and staff were issued with a message to inform them of the incident and provide reassurance that the incident has been handled in an effective and efficient manner.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.10am on Wednesday, 12 March 2025, we received a report of a child in possession of a knife at a school in the Dumfries area.
“Officers spoke with the guardians of the child and police are working with partners in relation to the matter.”
