A schoolgirl who allegedly baked cookies with her grandmother's ashes then took them to school and shared them with her friends, it has been reported.

According to Fox40, the unnamed girl is believed to have given the baked goodies to nine students at Da Vinci Academy school in California.

One boy who ate the biscuits returned home after the incident to tell his parents what happened.

"This girl is going around telling everyone that she brought in these cookies to school with human ashes in them," he told Fox40.

The boy, who ate the biscuits two weeks ago, was asked to make a statement but says he was told to keep quiet about the incident.

His mum is now furious at the girl, while accusing the school of attempting to cover up the incident.

"It blew my mind. I was really repulsed and I was upset that I wasn't even notified.

"After that he told me not to tell anyone."

That student's mother says she met with Da Vinci Charter Academy Principal Tyler Millsap and demanded a copy of the statement her son was asked to sign.

"The district seems to be a little bit more concerned about protecting themselves than protecting their students," his father said.

It is still unclear whether the cookies did actually contain the girl's grandmother's ashes, with NBC reporting that tests on them are still pending.

Police say they are not aware of anyone who has been physically harmed by the cookies at this stage.

The school has since released a statement to parents saying: "While we cannot comment on confidential student matters, I can tell you that the physical and social-emotional safety of our students is our first priority.

"We take all allegations of wrongdoing seriously and we conduct thorough investigations and involve the police when appropriate. When wrongdoing is found to have occurred, disciplinary measures are applied and at the same time measures are taken to repair the harm within the community.

"This case has been particularly challenging and we have responded appropriately and in the most respectful and dignified way possible."
