It is understood the pair, aged 10 and 11, ran away after seeing the weapon and cops have now launched a probe.

The school, which we are not naming for legal reasons, suspended the pupil after the incident last Wednesday and council bosses are also investigating.

A police spokeswoman said: "We were made aware of an incident involving an 11-year-old girl being in possession of an offensive weapon.

"Enquiries were carried out and an 11-year-old girl was reported to the Scottish Children's Reporter."

East Ayrshire's acting education head Linda McAulay-Griffiths said: "On Wednesday, March 7, we were alerted to an incident outside a primary school, and after the school day, involving a pupil with a knife.

"Whilst there was no physical harm caused to anyone, the matter is being fully investigated and we are offering appropriate support to those involved."
