Good to see the teacher who disarmed her being praised for his hands on intervention. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

Cannot believe there are people online slating Dyfed Powys Police for their handling of the situation. Thoughts to all that have been affected.

Amman Valley, has always been acknowledged as being a good school. It's where my daughter and my wife 's nieces were educated. When I took early retirement, I did some supply there ,and enjoyed it. Any incident of this involving extreme violence is worrying, but particularly in a place you know well, and naturally take for granted it is a safe place for staff and pupils.(which I firmly believe it still is) Nevertheless, and incident of the nature will rock the confidence , not just of the school community, but the community as a whole . It will take a little while, but I am confident ,with support, that both the community and the school, will come together, and put this terrible incident behind them. The media and social media, could play their part, and allow the community, time and space to do that In the longer term the broader picture is for schools ,the LEA councils,to look at ways of making schools safer places.Various physical measures have been mentioned, such as metal detectors , but the cost of implementing these at every access and exit point would be huge. The most important thing is the absolute reaffirmation that violence, in any form, has no part in school. Teachers and pupils need to feel safe in a caring and nurturing environment, which schools like Dyffyn Amman has always been known for. My kindest thoughts go all those affected, and my admiration for the resilience and maturity of pupils and professionalism of staff. ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

Shocking about what happened yesterday in Ammanford A 13-year-old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a school in south-west Wales.

Shocked to read this yesterday (from France)... I don't ever remember such an incident in a school in Wales, though maybe it's happened before somewhere... it's certainly extremely rare. Fights do happen in schools, but the use of weapons is pretty much unknown. Top marks to the teachers involved, and indeed to the whole school community for pulling together. It's a great relief to find out that no-one was seriously injured. The perpetrator will need careful assessment to see why they did what they did... and follow-up supervision to reduce as close to zero as possible the likelihood of a repeat, in an appropriate setting.

In situations such as this, people rightly or wrongly always look for someone to blame

Very true - in this case it seems there is only blame attached to one person unless something comes out during the investigation. Of course in the recent high profile case in the US parents were found guilty & have been imprisoned for not supervising their teenager's gun which they unbelievably purchased for him & seemingly allowed him free access to. What parallel universe do these people live in!!!!!!!
