All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield reopened to pupils on Wednesday following the closure prompted by the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose. The school offered support to staff and pupils in the wake of the tragedy, while the community rallied around the victim's family. The 16-year-old charged with murder was remanded in custody.
A Sheffield school which closed following a fatal stabbing has reopened to pupils. All Saints Catholic High School had been closed since Monday after pupil Harvey Willgoose was stabbed in the chest twice at about 12:17 GMT. A 16-year-old boy has been charged with his murder, possession of a bladed article and affray. Children, some with flowers, began arriving at the school as police remained at the scene to provide reassurance.
\Mum Caroline Willgoose said: 'I don't want to go to sleep because I don't want to wake up and have to relive it all and remember it.' She said Harvey's final words to her before he left home to go to school on Monday had been 'I love you'. The teenager's uncle, Simon Turner, said he had received a call that afternoon and immediately 'knew something was wrong'. 'I've never experienced anything like it in my life and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.' Mr Turner said the support from people across the county and the UK had helped 'unbelievably'. 'The family are strong but the community is making us even stronger.' 'It was too late for Harvey but there's got to be someone else out there that we can be early enough to prevent this from happening again,' he said.\Dozens of floral tributes and cards have been left outside the school gates and at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground. Steve Davies, on behalf of the school, said All Saints would 'do all we can' to support staff and pupils in the weeks ahead. Mr Davies described Harvey as an 'immensely popular' young man whose 'smile would light up the room'. Several football clubs have also paid tribute to the teenager, who was a Sheffield United fan. On Tuesday, Rotherham United honoured Harvey with a minute's applause at the 15th minute of the match against Bradford City
