Ammanford: Girl arrested after three injured in school stabbing

Headteacher James Durbridge praised staff and students for their "calm and mature response" to the lockdown.

In a message on the school's website, he said: "Today has been a very difficult day... It goes without saying that my thoughts are with the three individuals and their families, who have been affected by today's incident."

He added: "We are proud to have witnessed pupils embodying the school's core values while supporting their peers and staff."

Mr Durbridge said that even though the school would be closed on Thursday, support would still be available to anyone affected.

Wales' First Minister Vaughan Gething said he was "shocked" to hear news of the "serious incident".

"A deeply worrying time for the school, families and community. Diolch [thank you] to first responders," he said.

Writing on X, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: "I want to thank the police and emergency services for their ongoing response and my thoughts are with all those affected."
