At least 15 police vehicles – including a dog team – along with a number of ambulances and a helicopter arrived at Fir Vale School in Sheffield following reports of an incident on the premises just before 1pm on Tuesday.
According to witnesses said the problems were rooted in longstanding tensions between Slovak Roma people and the Pakistani community in the school hall.
Even later in the afternoon hundreds of people arrived at the gates of the school after hearing about fighting between students which started in the school canteen. Even now a high-visibility police presence remained on the streets of Page Hall.

South Yorkshire Police have said:
At around 12.55pm this afternoon, police were called to Fir Vale School on Owler Lane, following reports of an altercation between a group of students.
Officers were deployed and on arrival found that a large number of people had gathered at the gates.
The crowds have now dispersed and officers remain in the area, liaising with the school. No-one is believed to have been injured.”
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service said two people were treated at the scene.
A source said: “There were hundreds of people, a thousand people outside the fence. They were carrying all kinds of things – baseball bats, pieces of wood. They were trying to get over. It was chaos. I went in and got my daughter out. The police threatened to arrest me but I was going in.”
Another concerned parent said: “The police told me every available copper in Sheffield is here – every single one. They’re just worried it’s really going to kick off.”
Already this year a car drove into the school car park and crashed through the main entrance.
An update on the School website stated: “An incident in school has meant we will be closing at 2pm. All pupils are safe. Any child who should not leave early will be supervised on site in our library.”
