Police confirmed they had been notified of the school’s concerns, while a member of staff said the gates had been closed, but that visitors can still get in and out.

“They received reports that a killer clown was going to the school,” said a PSNI spokesperson.

“The school asked for passing attention.”

But they added: “No killer clowns have been spotted at the school.”

Last night (Tuesday) a youngster wearing a ‘killer clown’ mask was also spotted in the Burn Road area of town.
