Ambulance crews, along with the air ambulance, were called to a medical incident at the school in Edinburgh Road, just after midday on Tuesday (June 18).

Carlie Gordon said her 14-year-old daughter Emily had been playing on the bars when she slipped and banged her head, causing her to have involuntary fits due to the trauma.

Carlie added: “All scans are clear.

“She’s very confused and upset but she’s safe.”
