POLICE were called to a Hemingfield school following reports of a stranger at the gates.
Officers were called to the Ellis Church of England school, on School Street, at 8.50am last Friday after parents reported a man behaving suspiciously nearby.
One parent, who did not wish to be named, said the man was standing at the school gates wearing no shoes, and that the school was put on 'lockdown' whilst staff and police dealt with the situation.
A police spokeswoman confirmed officers attended the scene and escorted the man home.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
