Commenting on the incident that happened at Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Nicola Fitzpatrick, Wales Secretary for the National Education Union said:
“The NEU is very saddened to hear of the shocking incident at Milford Haven Comprehensive School. Our thoughts are with the teacher, their family, and the whole school community.
Schools should be places of safety for everyone who passes through the gates. No one should ever have to experience violent or aggressive behaviour while carrying out their work or their studies.
The NEU has been in touch with our members at the school to offer whatever support they may need at this distressing time.
It is vital that all stakeholders urgently address the rise in violence and aggression in ways that meet the needs of the learners and crucially keep staff and students safe in settings across Wales.”
