Statement from Councillor Richard Clark - Torfaen Council’s Executive Member for Children, Families and Education
It is with great regret that we have been informed that our long serving Headteacher at Pontnewydd Primary, Kerry Waters, has passed away.
We are all deeply saddened by this tragedy. Mr Waters has been a much loved and respected Head Teacher for 16 years. He has been part of the very fabric of our school community and will be sorely missed.
The Educational Psychology Service and Schools Counselling Service will be in school over the coming days and weeks to offer support to staff and children.
On behalf of the council, we offer our sincere condolences and sympathy to his family, his colleagues and the pupils at Pontnewydd Primary and all those who knew him.
