Ammanford school stabbing: Pupils describe ‘terrifying chaos’ of day
A Freedom of Information request by BBC Wales has suggested children as young as Year 2 – aged six and seven – have been found with a blade on school premises during the past five full academic years in Wales.
In Carmarthenshire, it has been recorded that three teenage pupils had a blade in school in the two months following the incident at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, and two of those incidents involved a multi-tool knife.
Gwynedd’s council recorded six incidents of blades brought to school in 2023-24, with five relating to self-harm.
Meanwhile, a pupil was arrested and charged after an incident involving a blade at a secondary school in Powys in 2024.
Vale of Glamorgan council said a teacher was threatened by a Year 9 pupil with a sharp object in 2022.
The majority of local authorities in Wales said they did not hold information relating to our Freedom of Information request.
