Westminster Academy Incident

Cllr Adam Hug, Leader of Westminster City Council, said:

"This is a truly shocking attack on school pupils and a member of staff.

"The Council has been in touch with Westminster Academy and we will provide educational psychologists and any other support to help children through what is a traumatic ordeal. Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected.

"Clearly this attack will be unsettling for the whole Academy and the wider community, and we will be working with police to provide reassurance and whatever support we can. We would urge anyone with information about what has happened to contact the police."
