A year seven pupil at Bradley Stoke Community School has been expelled after “wielding” a knife in a corridor.
The school says the incident, involving a penknife, was “completely out of character for the student concerned”.
The head of the school, Dave Baker, has warned there will be “major consequences” for any other offences involving knifes or threatening behaviour.
He added that there will be follow up work at the school with pupils “about personal safety and attitudes towards weapons, especially knives”.
“The safety and wellbeing of our students in school is of paramount importance to us,” Mr Baker added.
The incident is the second knife incident to come to light in South Gloucestershire Schools in the past week.
A girl, 14, has been charged with stabbing a 13-year-old girl at Filton High School on Tuesday.
