The stabbing took place outside the All Saints' Catholic High School on Granville Road, in Sheffield.

The school has alerted parents that a 'serious incident' took place and that classrooms were 'locked down' at around midday on Monday.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested and is currently in police custody. Locals say an air ambulance attended the scene.

It is understood children have been released in groups following the incident.

A Sheffield Police spokesman said: "At 12.17pm today we received reports of a stabbing at All Saints Catholic High School on Granville Road in Sheffield.

"A 15-year-old boy is en route to hospital with serious injuries. His family is aware."

Police said the road has been closed, and people are urged to steer clear of the area as emergency workers carry out their work.

"We would like to reassure parents of pupils that we do not deem there to be a further risk at the school and further updates will be shared when possible," they added.

A parent, who asked not to be named, told the Sheffield Star today: “This is frightening to hear so soon after a previous incident and I hope and pray everyone is okay and the incident is resolved peacefully.

The school was put on lockdown just last week.

“Now is not the time for recriminations but the school will have some serious questions to answer in the coming days.

The All Saints' school was put on lockdown only five days ago, when after staff and students were told to 'stay put', following 'threats of violence' between a “small number of students" on January 29.

The school’s headteacher Sean Pender has also issued a statement.

He wrote: “I am writing to inform you that today we have dealt with an extremely serious incident here in school resulting in us going in to a lockdown procedure.

“The incident involved two students, one of whom we believe has been seriously injured. All other students are contained and safe.

“The police and paramedics are present in school. Once the police allow us to, we will be releasing all students from school.

“I understand the level of anxiety you will be feeling without knowledge of the nature of the incident but at this time I have limited information to share with you whilst we have police and paramedics on site.

“We ask for your prayers and support at this time.”
