Pupil who stabbed teacher in head given four-year detention order
Teacher Vicki Williams told the court she feared she would die after the 16-year-old stabbed her at school
A pupil who stabbed a teacher in the head with a kitchen knife after asking her to check his homework has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in youth detention.
The 16-year-old boy followed Vicki Williams into her empty classroom at Milford Haven Comprehensive School, Pembrokeshire, after asking for help with his work on 5 February.
The teenager pulled a knife from his bag and lunged at her, Swansea Crown Court previously heard, with Williams saying she feared she would die.
After the trial in July, he was found not guilty of attempted murder but guilty of wounding with intent.
On Thursday, Judge Thomas told the court there was a "significant degree of planning" and that "time stood still" for Williams.
During the trial, Williams said the attack "came out of nowhere" after the boy - who cannot be named due to a court order - asked her for help with his work at the end of the school day.
He closed the classroom door behind him and Williams noticed him looking through his bag as he asked her if his work "was correct".
She said he suddenly pulled a large kitchen knife from the bag, and stabbed her in her head.
Milford Haven Comprehensive School was locked down after the incident
