A shocking incident unfolded at Milford Haven School, where a teacher was allegedly attacked with a knife by a 15-year-old student. The teenager has been charged with attempted murder after the distressing event, which left the teacher with injuries to her head, finger, and back, requiring hospital treatment. Despite Friday’s closure, the school is set to reopen on Monday, February 9th, with increased police presence on campus for added security and peace of mind.
Parents have received a letter detailing the school’s plan to hold assemblies for pupil reassurance and to provide additional pastoral support. The court heard that the boy allegedly attacked the teacher after requesting help with work. He appeared at Swansea Magistrates’ Court, with his family present, and will be in youth detention until his next hearing at Swansea Crown Court on Monday.
This unsettling event has sent ripples through the community, sparking concerns for safety in educational environments. As Milford Haven School prepares to welcome back students, the emphasis remains on ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere for all.
