Boy charged with GBH after teacher injured at school

A 15-year-old boy who allegedly assaulted a teenager has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article on education premises.

Dyfed-Powys Police were called to Milford Haven Comprehensive School in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales on Thursday afternoon following reports of an assault of a teacher by a pupil brandishing a weapon.

The teacher has since been discharged from hospital, police said, adding they were "continuing to support the victim whilst they recover from this traumatic event".

The teenager has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Police also confirmed that the teacher sustained stab wounds, after an initial assessment described "non-stab injuries".

"There will continue to be a higher than usual police presence in the area over the coming days to provide further reassurance," Det Ch Insp Matthew Briggs said.

All school events were cancelled following the incident on Thursday, with the school remaining closed on Friday but available for those requiring additional support.

Following the incident, Wales First Minister Eluned Morgan said "violence of any kind has no place in our schools".

Morgan, who visited the school last week, said her thoughts were with the injured teacher, their family and the entire school community, adding her government would support all those affected.

Matt Wrack, the general secretary of the NASUWT teachers' union, said schools "should be places of safety and learning - not fear and violence".

"We will be standing by to offer all the support we can," he said.
