The person who is being accused admitted that they were guilty of having a dangerous weapon.

Sending him to a youth detention center, judge Lynne Matthews said, “We need to learn more about you. ” The court needs to listen to ideas from the team who works with young people who commit crimes.


I don’t know what you’re going to say, so I won’t make any guesses.

You will be told what your punishment is on September 28. You will have to stay in custody until September 28th, which means you won’t be able to go back home.

Tewkesbury Academy, a school in Gloucestershire, had an incident on July 10 where a lockdown was put in place and the police were summoned.

Two schools close to each other were told to quickly take action and lock their doors, while police officers arrived.

At the same time, a group of scared parents were instructed to wait for more information at a garden center close by.

Teacher Jamie Sansom was stabbed one time in the hallway of the school.

He left the hospital on the same day and mentioned that he was recovering well.

There were reports saying that he had gotten involved in a fight between students when the incident occurred, but he later said that this was not true.

Mr Sansom has been a math teacher at Tewkesbury Academy since 2017.

After what happened, many people in the local community sent him many messages to show that they were there for him and cared about him.
