There was a huge emergency service presence at the school, on Firbank Road in Newall Green, with police, fire crews and ambulance crews all being scrambled shortly after 12:15pm.
The school said all pupils were evacuated as a "precaution" following the "suspected discharge of an aerosol in one area of the school."
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said its crews "quickly attended and ventilated the premises."
The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said that due to the 'number of potential casualties and the resources needed at the scene' they declared a major incident.
More than 80 people were assessed by medics at the scene.
Two people were taken to hospital with breathing difficulties as a result.

The major incident status was stood down just after 3pm the ambulance service confirmed but all three emergency services said they remain at the scene this afternoon.
Local GMP officers then confirmed the arrest of the teenage girl shortly after 3:30pm.
