🚨 **Incident at Milford Haven Comprehensive School** 🚨
A disturbing event unfolded at Milford Haven Comprehensive School, Wales, that has left the community reeling. Thursday afternoon, a 15-year-old student was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly assaulting a teacher with a weapon. The shocking incident led to a swift police response and a lockdown of the school.
The teacher involved was rushed to hospital but, thankfully, did not suffer a stab wound and has since been discharged. All students were unharmed and safely returned to their homes that evening.
On Friday, Milford Haven Comprehensive will remain closed as a precaution, while investigations continue. Local authorities have emphasised that the closure is to ensure health and safety for everyone involved.
First Minister Eluned Morgan expressed her deep concern, stating, “Violence of any kind has no place in our schools.” She praised the emergency services and school staff for their rapid and professional actions. The Welsh Government is committed to providing ongoing support to the affected community.
The police have assured the public that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure safety. Superintendent Chris Neve confirmed that although there will be an increased police presence in the area, it is purely for reassurance. He also mentioned that the teacher is now recovering with the support of specialist officers.
Teaching unions are voicing their concerns over the rising tide of violence in schools. Neil Butler from the NASUWT said that while teachers are dedicated to nurturing young minds, they too deserve a safe working environment. He called for more than just hopes and prayers to tackle the issue of violence in schools.
Local councillor Jon Harvey thanked the school staff and pupils for their effective response. He reassured families that any learners needing extra support can attend the school, where assistance will be available.
Our thoughts are with the school community, and we hope for a swift recovery for the injured teacher. As the investigation unfolds, let’s support our educators and students in creating a safe, nurturing educational environment. 🏫💙
