UK here, no, never.

We had fire drills, but other then that no. My parents had nuclear attack drills when they were at school, this was during the cold war.

UK also. We had a bomb scare at school in the IRA days, a few years before the big Manchester attach. It was a hoax call.

Schools are just starting to have "terrorist drills" which are similar, from all I've heard, to USA active shooter drills. They're not everywhere but they're not uncommon either.
