A female teacher has died after a stabbing at a Leeds high school.
A 15-year-old male pupil has been arrested in connection with the attack and is still in custody.
Police were called to Corpus Christi Catholic College in Neville Road, Leeds at 11.48am this morning after being contacted by the ambulance service.
The woman was taken to hospital but was subsequently pronounced dead.

‘I don’t know anyone who didn’t like her,’ she said outside the school. ‘She was spot on. You couldn’t ask for a better teacher.’

West Yorkshire Police said there is no current danger to pupils or staff and that the school is ‘continuing to operate as normal’.
Detective superintendent Simon Beldon said: ‘The situation is under control and officers, including safer schools officers and members of the local neighbourhood policing team, are currently at the school and are liaising closely with staff.
‘The rest of the school is continuing to operate as normal and we would ask that parents do not attend the site unless directly requested to do so by the school.
‘Our inquiries are at a very early stage but the full circumstances of this incident will obviously be the subject of a full and thorough investigation.’
