The school will be closed for the rest of the day.
Police have told the school it will take some time to deal with the incident.
Browns Bay School has also closed "due to the threat".
People were asked to stay away from school grounds, a statement on the school's website said.

"We are working to establish the origin of the emails and have yet to establish any actual threat to any organisation.
