The Welsh Conservatives have expressed concern after police enforced the closure of two schools in Cardiff, urging a swift investigation to minimise disruption for pupils, parents and staff. They say the incident highlights the importance of ensuring schools remain safe environments for learning and have reiterated calls for stronger action to improve safety and discipline in Welsh schools.
Commenting Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education, Natasha Asghar MS said:
“This is a deeply concerning situation for parents, pupils and staff, and I hope the police can carry out a swift investigation to avoid further disruption to families.
Teachers and pupils must feel safe in school, and incidents like this raise serious concerns about safety.
The Welsh Conservatives would restore discipline by introducing automatic exclusions for pupils who carry weapons, helping create a safer environment for students and staff.”
