A statement from the school published to social media and seen by The Standard confirmed a report had been made to police.
It said: “We have been made aware of a post circulating on social media regarding two men allegedly speaking to children through the gates on the playground.
“(We) would like to reassure you that all children are safe and the member of the public has reported this to police and they will follow this up.
