School principal David James said police had been alerted and anyone who saw anybody acting suspiciously near the school was urged to call 101.

In a letter sent home to parents Mr James said the man had attempted to engage in an “inappropriate conversation” with the student.

He said: “We would like our students to be extra vigilant on their way to and from school, preferably to walk in groups, and to report any concerns they have to a member of staff or parents.”
