A head teacher has warned parents to take precautions to make sure their children are safe after reports of two men in a car being verbally abusive and threatening towards a child.
Head teacher of Pennard Primary School, Kerina Hanson, sent a letter to parents warning them of an incident which took place in the area concerning a Bishopston Comprehensive School pupil on Thursday, April 4.
She did so after receiving a report of the incident from a parent, warning others to be aware of a white Ford car.

The message sent to parents read: "Be aware - white Ford car.
"I’d like to make you aware of an incident that took place in the village. A child from Bishopston Comprehensive has been approached by two men in a white ford car. The men were verbally abusive and threatening and tried to film the abuse and response before driving off.
"Clearly this was very frightening and the child ran off before the car could return.
"As this happened in close proximity to the school parents need take precautions to ensure their children are safe. Police have been made aware of the incident."
