Parents call off school protest as headteacher offers reassurance after two violent incidents

Parents have called off plans for a march to protest about safety at their children’s school. They planned to march to Newport's Lliswerry High on Friday (April 28) after two violent incidents at the school, both of which were reported to police.

Newport Council said the march has now been called off. Headteacher Neil Davies has also written to parents assuring them children are safe and asking them to warn their children about responsible use of social media.

Mr Davies said “most of the issues” in schools are now caused by social media. His letter follows chatter and footage being shared following a fight between two pupils on Monday, April 24.
