Police were called to Milford Haven Comprehensive School in Pembrokeshire on Thursday afternoon.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a teacher was injured at a school.
Dyfed-Powys Police said officers were called to Milford Haven Comprehensive School in Pembrokeshire at about 15:20 GMT on Thursday.
Supt Chris Neve said they were responding to reports of the assault of a teacher by a pupil brandishing a weapon.
"The teacher's injury is not a stab injury. A lockdown was implemented but has now been lifted," he said.
Wales First Minister Eluned Morgan said "violence of any kind has no place in our schools".
"All pupils at the location are safe and most have gone home," said Supt Neve, adding that the teacher is receiving medical treatment for their injuries.
He added that officers remained at the school, and that the 15-year-old boy was in police custody.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said they were called to the scene and one patient was transported to hospital.
Pembrokeshire council said most pupils had now left the school and confirmed police officers remained on site.
"Any planned after-school events have been cancelled this evening," a spokesperson said.
Morgan, who visited the school last week, said her thoughts were with the injured teacher, their family and the entire school community, adding her government would support all those affected.
Mid and South Pembrokeshire MP Henry Tufnell said he was "very grateful to the school staff and our emergency services for their swift response in ensuring the safety of pupils and colleagues".
He described the local area as a "really close community".
