Parents at Ferndown Upper School collected their children due to unverified social media rumors about a student bringing a knife to school. The school clarified that the claim is false and will investigate the rumor’s origin. They explained that the item in question is a Kirpan, an ornamental symbol of faith used by Sikh students, which has been safely worn for over a decade. The school emphasized its commitment to maintaining safety and noted that any religious accommodations undergo thorough risk assessments. Staff will engage with students about this issue to address concerns and questions.
