Myton School wrote on social media: "Parents and carers, this morning we received a vague threat via email against our school.
"As always the first priority was the safety of students and staff, who were all evacuated from the buildings.

"Thank you very much for your prompt responses which allowed us to send Year 7 to 10 students home."
A police presence remains around the school with a cordon in place.
Students at the school were sent home while police investigations continue.
Local policing commander for south Warwickshire, Chief Inspector Faz Chishty said officers will remain in the area for "some time".
The school added: "Throughout this incident the children have been amazing and Mr Perry would like to thank every single one of them for acting so responsibly in a very trying situation.

"He also thanks staff and students for their very prompt responses."
It is currently unknown whether the school will re-open tomorrow.
