A tragic incident unfolded at All Saints High School in Sheffield on Monday, February 3, where a teenage boy, Harvey Willgoose, was fatally stabbed. He succumbed to his injuries shortly after the attack.

15-year-old Harvey's sister, Sophie Willgoose, expressed her grief on Facebook, encouraging others to cherish their loved ones. She wrote: "My heart is broken into a million pieces I love you so much Harvey. Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight cos I wish I could."

Emergency services responded swiftly, placing All Saints High School on lockdown at 12:17 PM. Forensic investigators arrived on the scene immediately, and tributes began to pour in as flowers and balloons were left outside the school.

A heartfelt note from one of Harvey's teachers was found among the tributes, describing him as “always polite and friendly.” The note read: “I only taught you a few times in year 7 but I remember you well. Despite being occasionally a little too energetic, you were always polite and friendly. I am so sorry this has happened.”
