A 15-year-old-boy has been charged with attempted wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article after a teacher was stabbed in a school corridor.
Maths teacher Jamie Sansom suffered a single stab wound at Tewkesbury Academy in Gloucestershire at just after 9am on Monday.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged on Tuesday evening with section 18 attempted wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article on school premises.
He will remain in police custody overnight before appearing at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
The academy was locked down and two neighbouring schools were also asked to shut their doors as a “precaution" following the incident, Assistant Chief Constable Richard Ocone, of Gloucestershire Police, said.
Mr Sansom, who was discharged from hospital on Monday evening, said he was “recovering well” and that he hoped to be back in school before the summer break.
