Police are urging parents to have "difficult conversations" with children after a spate of knife incidents in Harrogate district schools.
North Yorkshire Police said it was aware of five incidents of knives being brought into schools since September.
They include children flashing knives in the playground to other students.
Boys and girls had both been involved.
Officers said that, while the number of cases were high, no pupils or staff had been harmed or threatened.
The police praised teaching staff for identifying children carrying knives at school.
