Pupils carried bins and barriers to block the entrance to more than a dozen schools – including the Dorian, Arago, Voltaire, Charlemagne, Sophie Germain, Chaptal and Naples high schools, which are all located in central Paris.

One school – the Lycée Jules Ferry – closed its doors for the day as a “security precaution” after hearing that some of the protests had descended into violence before 9am local time

Violent clashes between police and students have also been reported outside several Paris schools.

Paris police have warned hooligans to stay away

Paris police prefecture officials, however, have warned hooligans to “stay away”.

Also using the hashtag #BlocusPourThéo, they tweeted: “Hooligans will try to join the protests in order to provoke fights and cause significant damage.”

Several metro stations have also been closed in a desperate bid to stop Paris from spiralling into chaos.
