Travellers have left Harrogate's Ashville College following a fracas on Saturday night that left one man in hospital.
Six caravans returned to the playing fields at the fee-paying school last week a fortnight after a previous encampment, thought to be the same group of people, pitched up.
Their presence raised safeguarding concerns that could have disrupted the new school term, which is due to start this week.
But following a disturbance on Saturday night, most of the travellers have now gone — and the few remaining are expected to depart today.
A spokesman for Ashville College said:
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said the incident was believed to be an altercation between two men at the location.
The spokesman added:
No staff, students or anyone else connected with the college is believed to have been involved.
