A teenager has been charged with the murder of Harvey Willgoose.
Harvey sadly died on Monday after being stabbed at All Saints Catholic High School on Granville Road in Sheffield shortly before 1pm.
Chris Hartley, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for the CPS Yorkshire and Humberside, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has reviewed a file of evidence from South Yorkshire Police.
“We have authorised South Yorkshire Police to charge a 15-year-old with murder in relation to the death of Harvey Willgoose, 15, at All Saints Catholic High School on 3 February.
He has also been charged with possession of a bladed article and one count of affray.
The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that the youth has a right to a fair trial.
It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
In a tribute, Harveys family said: “We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful boy, Harvey Goose. Our lives are devastated and will never be the same again.
“We have lost a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and most importantly, a best friend to all. Harvey will be forever known for being a caring, loving and funny young man.
“At this difficult time we ask you to please respect our privacy as we grieve as a family.”
