It is said to have happened on Friday.

However, in a statement, the academy said no weapons had been used, although a member of staff had been injured.

An Oasis Academy spokesman said: "Oasis Community Learning has no higher priority than the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff.

"Our young people know how to act in and around school, and that unsafe behaviour cannot, and will not, be tolerated.

"We are aware of an incident at Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey on Friday where, during change of lessons, a member of staff received a minor injury to their arm.

"The behaviour of two students was addressed with them and their parents, and the matter was resolved.

"Comments suggesting a weapon was used are untrue, as well as unhelpful in keeping our school community safe.

"If any of our parents have any questions on this or any other issue, they are encouraged to contact the academy directly."
