Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkins have been named as the two teachers who were injured, alongside a pupil, in the attack at Amman Valley School on Wednesday.

All three were all taken to the hospital with knife injuries and were discharged the next day.

They have now broken their silence following the attack, as they released a statement on Friday.

Assistant Headteacher Fiona Elias said she “cannot comprehend” what happened during the attack.

Ms Elias’s statement reads: “From the bottom of my heart, my family and I would like to say a huge thank you for all the messages we have received from far and wide over the past few days. I am deeply indebted to the Police, Ambulance Service, and the NHS staff in Morriston for their excellent care and quick response.

“Many thanks also to the Air Ambulance for their excellent care of my colleague, Liz. This is another example of how vital this service is to us in Wales. Three of us were taken to hospital with injuries, but this incident has had an enormous impact on my colleagues and the wonderful pupils we have at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman.

“I cannot comprehend what staff and pupils experienced on Wednesday. I would like to thank all members of staff for prioritising the welfare and safety of pupils at the school for four hours, and the pupils for responding so maturely and sensibly in a situation that no one expects to happen.
