Walsall school holds special assemblies in response to violent disorder
A Walsall school is holding anti-violence assemblies this week in response to violent disorder on Monday which saw two pupils injured.
A 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the leg and another sustained a head injury on Monday afternoon at West Walsall E Act Academy.
Both were taken to hospital but later discharged and West Midlands Police are investigating the violent disorder.
A spokesperson for E-ACT said: “We can confirm that there was an incident outside of school earlier this week in which a member of our school community was injured. The matter is now a formal police investigation and so we are not in a position to provide any further detail. We are in close contact with the police to support them on their investigation.
“We work hard to create a safe, calm and welcoming environment for all our students at West Walsall Academy and are supporting the students who have been impacted by this incident."
