  1. “suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm” ? Should be attempted murder not just GBH.

    The student in question has also been reported multiple times to the school and has been involved in multiple incidents yet the school turned a blind eye.

    Andrew Burns, the CEO of the School trust, should resign.
