A CITY primary school has been confirmed safe after pupils were evacuated due to a suspected gas leak.

The children at Perdiswell Primary School were taken to Tudor Grange High, with parents asked to come and collect them from 1.15pm today.

"They are safe and well and having lunch at Tudor Grange," a text to parents said.

At around 3pm a Facebook post confirmed the school was safe and would be open as usual tomorrow.

"Thank you for your understanding," the post added.
