Police are searching for suspects after reports of a man exposing himself to two girls in Harold Hill.
It follows after parents received a letter from Drapers’ Academy on Friday (February 27) to reports of the incident.
Principal Gillian Dineen said that the school received reports on Friday morning of a man exposing himself to members of the public, including pupils, in The Manor nature reserve.
According to the Metropolitan Police, the school reported it to the force at 8.41am that a man exposed himself in front of two pupils.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “The two girls made their way to school and were uninjured.
“Officers attended the school and made urgent enquiries.
“They are working to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
“No arrests have been made at this stage.”
According to the letter sent to parents, the suspect is described as a White male, aged 30 to 40, slim build and around 5’8” to 5’9” in height.
The school said: “We are working with the police on this matter and they are launching a full investigation to identify the individual involved.
“As a precaution, we are advising pupils who would usually walk through the Manor to use alternative routes where possible, or to ensure they are walking with others rather than alone.
“If parents have any information or concerns they should contact the Police and/or the Academy.
“The Academy will continue to have high staff presence in and around the school at the beginning and end of each day and we will continue to liaise with the police and provide further updates if necessary.”
