A school has been left "completely devastated" after a 15-year-old boy died following a "gang attack" outside its gates.

A murder inquiry was launched after the teenager died in hospital after being "pinned down and stabbed" near the entrance of North Huddersfield Trust School (NHTS) in Woodhouse Hill at 2.45pm on Wednesday, West Yorkshire Police said.

Headteacher Andrew Fell said in a statement that NHTS had "lost a wonderful student from our school community". The victim was treated at the scene and taken to Leeds General Infirmary for emergency surgery, according to police.
