Children as young as nursery age have been responsible for more than 3,000 attacks on staff in Wales’ schools in less than three years, we can reveal.

Teaching unions last night branded the epidemic of classroom altercations as “outrageous” and “totally unacceptable”, with calls for a clampdown on the problem.
