A 12-year-old boy has been charged after an alleged serious assault on a fellow Angus high school pupil.
The 13-year-old was attacked on Monday.
The families of those involved were then alerted by the school.
Angus Council says “appropriate action” has been taken.
The school cannot be named to protect the identities of those involved.
A spokesperson for the council said: “We are aware of this matter and of the appropriate action that has been taken with regards to all individuals concerned and their families.
“We will not make any further specific comment other than to state that if an incident does happen, we want our young people to report it immediately in the knowledge and confidence that it will be dealt with appropriately and effectively.”

Last year Instagram and TikTok removed over 70 accounts glorifying violence and bullying in schools across Tayside and Fife after an investigation by The Courier.
Our social media team discovered several public pages set up for cyberbullying.
Anonymous accounts were being used to share videos of fights and mock pupils, with some including personal information and photos posted without consent.
TikTok and Instagram both launched probes and removed the offending accounts flagged by The Courier.
