Exciting update for Llanelli: Dafen CP School is set to reopen this Wednesday, 5th November, after a brief closure due to some concerning online threats. ๐จ๐ The police had declared a “critical incident” when threats of individuals attending the school with knives emerged, leading to swift action. Thanks to the diligent work of Dyfed Powys Police, who deployed a substantial amount of resources, including firearms and dog units, the risk is now considered to have passed. ๐พ๐ฎโโ๏ธ

Even without identifying the source, safety measures ensured the threat was contained, and the school stayed closed on Tuesday to allow parents time to make alternative plans. Carmarthenshire Council expressed gratitude for the understanding and patience of the school community during such a tense time. ๐๐ผ

Everyone’s safety is always the top priority. With close cooperation between the council and the police, the school environment has been safeguarded for students and staff to return. ๐๐

Councillor Glynog Davies has praised the resilience of the school community, recognising the challenging circumstances theyโve navigated. Kudos to everyone involved for their incredible team spirit during this period! ๐๐
We hope everyone can get back to their routines calmly and that Dafen CP School continues thriving in a safe, supportive environment.๐โ๏ธ
