A school coach had its window broken after getting caught up in a conflict between migrants and police near Calais.

Thirty-five pupils and seven adults from Portree High School were travelling home from an Italian skiing trip when the incident happened on Sunday.

An outer window of double glazing on the coach was broken as it approached the French city, but nobody was injured.

French police and Calais Border Control were made aware of the situation before the coach continued on its journey.

Portree High School head teacher Catherine MacDonald said: "Everyone has returned home safe and sound from what was a fantastic ski trip with snowsports certificates under their belts.

"No one was injured as a result of the incident at Calais which was efficiently dealt with by our coach operator."

Highland Council director of learning Bill Alexander said: "We were alerted to the incident yesterday and parents were informed. This was an unfortunate episode to the end of what was otherwise a very successful school ski trip. All those on the trip have returned safely."

More than 1000 migrants are set to be moved into new accommodation at the controversial Jungle refugee camp in Calais this week.

Dozens of metal shipping containers have been converted into semi-permanent homes for hundreds of families at the camp, where up to 7000 people are thought to live.
