Amman Valley headteacher praises school for response following stabbing

The headteacher of a Welsh school where three people were stabbed has commended staff and students' 'calm and measured' response to the incident.

The school has remained closed today as police continue their investigations. Students have been given an option to continue with their classes online. One teacher, Darrel Campbell, is said to have intervened and disarmed a girl before emergency services arrived, according to reports. He is said to have not been harmed during the incident.

The force has also asked people not to speculate while their investigation is ongoing. Dafydd Llywelyn, police and crime commissioner for Dyfed-Powys, said he was deeply shocked. Mr Llywelyn said: "My thoughts go out to all those affected, including the pupils, teachers and staff who were involved or witnessed this terrifying ordeal. Our thoughts are also with the families and friends of those injured.

Also on X, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak thanked the police and emergency services for their work. Adam Price, Plaid Cymru MS for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, who attended the school between 1980 and 1987, described the incident as a 'bolt from the blue'.
