    There has been an update to this story. Read it here.

    Two Cardiff secondary schools will remain closed on Monday (March 16) as a precaution while police investigate a report made on Sunday evening.

    Llanishen High School and Eastern High School will both shut for the day following discussions between South Wales Police and Cardiff Council.

    The decision has been taken as a safety measure while enquiries are carried out.

    Superintendent Mark Kavanagh said: “We have come to the decision, with support from Cardiff Council, to keep these schools closed on Monday in order to avoid risk, following a report which was made to police on Sunday evening.

    “This report is currently under investigation.

    “This decision was not taken lightly but was made with the safety of pupils, staff and the wider school communities in mind.”

    South Wales Police confirmed that investigations into the report are ongoing.
