The WalesOnline news outlet quoted a parent whose two children were sent home as saying that a fire alarm was set up during the break and the pupils were told to leave the school premises immediately.
Pictures from the scene show a large police presence guarding the front gates of the school, which according to WalesOnline has a capacity for around 1,300 pupils and a large number of people who have been evacuated standing outside the premises.
