A “violent struggle” ensued in which Vicki “screamed blue murder” and eventually succeeded in taking the knife from him. Footage has now been released of the aftermath showing the teacher holding her head with the blade in her hand. Another teacher then comes over and takes Vicki away from the classroom. The boy has now been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in youth detention after he was found guilty of wounding with intent but cleared of the more serious charge of attempted murder. Sentencing, Judge Paul Thomas KC said: “I don’t know why you attacked Mrs Williams with that knife, you never told anybody why you did it. “What I do know for certain is that you took a knife that day to school because you wanted to really hurt her with it.

Vicki told the court how he was “cold” and “alarm bells” began to ring in her head when he shut the door to the classroom. She also said in her evidence how she feared she was “dying” after the stabbing. In a victim impact statement, the teacher said it had been an “emotional rollercoaster” since the incident and she was yet to return to work. “The three main emotions I’m feeling are sadness, anger, and guilt. Sadness is the most predominant,” she added. “I’m focusing too much on what could have happened to me. “Although I feel guilty, I know I wouldn’t be able to go back to school. I don’t think I could be the same teacher I was before. “All it would take is a pupil to ask for help, like he did, and I will freak out. “I’m scared of being alone with the children in school, which I would be if I went back to work. “School starts again in early September and at the moment I don’t think I’ll be returning. “I have no return-to-work plans in place with the school at the moment, I don’t feel I could be the teacher I was.” The jury was shown CCTV of the teen leaving the school premises following the horror. He fled to his grandmother’s home, telling her: “Something went in my head, nan.” Vicki was taken to hospital with a wound to her scalp, scratches on her back and minor cuts to her hands. Christopher Rees KC, prosecuting, had argued the boy would have “continued this murderous attack” if Vicki did not wrestle the knife away. He added: “He knows the truth about what he did, he just doesn’t have, I’m afraid, the courage or the remorse to tell anyone about it. “He brought the knife into school because he planned to attack the teacher. “Why Vicki Williams? Well, she was, at quarter past three, a lone female teacher, she was an easy target. “He’s not attacked a male teacher, has he? He’s attacked one of the young female teachers, alone in her classroom.” The jury reached a majority verdict of 11 to one to convict the boy of wounding with intent after just over four hours of deliberation.
