A 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death outside the gates of his school has been named as Khayri Mclean.
A murder inquiry was launched after the "wonderful student" was "pinned down and stabbed" near the entrance of North Huddersfield Trust School (NHTS) in Woodhouse Hill at 2.45pm on Wednesday.
He was rushed to Leeds General Infirmary but died as a result of his injuries, prompting detectives to launch a murder investigation.

The mother of the boy's girlfriend named him as Khayri. She said her daughter described him as "the perfect boy".
Sherrin James, who left flowers at the scene in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, said her daughter Shyana, 16, had been going out with the boy, who she named as Khayri, for around eight months. The 35-year-old said the pair were "literally inseparable," adding: "He was her first proper boyfriend. She absolutely adored him and he absolutely adored her."
A card addressed to "Kharyi" was left with the floral tributes outside the North Huddersfield Trust School, while a GoFundMe page has been set up to give Khayri "the best send off".
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder at around 5am on Thursday, at a property in the Bradley area of Huddersfield, the Mirror reports.
Officers pounced on an address in the early hours of Thursday morning and arrested a teenage boy as disturbing clips of the incident began circulating on social media.
In a statement West Yorkshire Police said: "The youth was arrested at an address in Huddersfield shortly before 5am today in connection with the incident in Woodhouse Hill, Fartown, yesterday afternoon.
"The attack on Khayri is being treated as a targeted incident and specialist detectives are continuing to conduct a wide range of enquiries across the Huddersfield area."
