A teenager who brought a knife into school stabbed a fellow student in the classroom in a horrifying 'revenge' attack. The 13-year-old boy attacked his victim, 14, with a pair of scissors after harbouring a 'grudge' against him.

The boy, now 15, later pleaded guilty to section 18 wounding and possessing a
