Responding to news that 240 pupils, teaching staff and contractors have been evacuated from St Athan primary school following a fire, Andrew RT Davies MS, Senedd Member for South Wales Central and former Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“The news reports out of St Athan yesterday were deeply worrying.
“I’d like to put on record my thanks to the emergency services who evacuated staff, pupils and contractors, and I know it will come as a great source of comfort for all of us that current reports indicate everyone is safe.
“Now it’s over to the council, the fire service and school to assess the damage and work to minimise further disruption for pupils, many of whom will be deeply upset by this incident.”
