A school in Teddington suddenly closed this morning (Tuesday, 7 October) with "many" police and ambulances seen outside after a man died. 

Children were sent home from Teddington School on Broom Road just before 9am this morning. 

Parents were left waiting to discover the reasons behind the closure, with the school yet to announce the nature of the incident.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 7.17am today to reports of an unwell person in Broom Road, Teddington. 

"We sent an ambulance crew, paramedics in fast response cars, an advanced paramedic and an incident response officer to the scene.

A Teddington School spokesperson added: "Emergency services were called to school earlier today after an external contractor was taken ill.

"Support was provided by both our staff and by paramedics but sadly he died this morning.

"Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time."

One parent took to X to spread the news, writing: "Teddington school closed with police and ambulance in attendance. 

"No clear answer. Lots of police and ambulances in attendance. May be outside the school blocking entry. All that's certain is closed all day."

They added: "I am now hearing many ambulances. All the kids have been sent home. It was early, before most of them had arrived."

The school is expected to reopen tomorrow (Wednesday).
