Controversy

Sexual messages sent by a trainee

On 4 October 2022, a "man undertaking training" at the school was accused of having conversations with pupils of the school on social media. The purported conversations are said to be 'highly sexual'. The local authority, Pembrokeshire County Council, later confirmed that the man had been removed from the school premises and that a "multi-agency referral" had been set up due to the allegations made.[4]
