A school rocked by violent incidents shared on social media has excluded two pupils and set up a liaison group with parents and carers to discuss concerns. Parents ditched plans for a march to Lliswerry High in protest about children’s safety after two unrelated incidents, both of which were reported to police.
Neil Davies, headteacher of the Newport school, said he is setting up a group for parents, carers and senior staff to meet half termly to discuss any worries. His letter to parents added that the strongest sanctions had been taken against two pupils following a break time fight on April 24.
Teachers broke up the pre-planned fight between the two boys which was witnessed by large numbers of pupils. Footage was taken on mobile phones and shared. Later that day, in an unrelated incident, a pupil was assaulted out of school hours near Spytty Stadium.
