School stabbing: Boy, 15, critically injured in Dulwich {Knife Crime 19}

A 15-year-old boy remains in a critical condition in hospital after a stabbing at a school in south London.
Another boy, also 15, suffered knife wounds in the attack on the grounds of Kingsdale Foundation School, Dulwich at about 15:30 GMT.

Both are being treated in hospital, according to the London Ambulance Service.
A third teenager has been arrested and is being questioned at a south London police station, the Met said.

Headteacher Steve Morrison said the school will be open as usual on Friday and parents will be kept updated.
The stabbing took place at the school, where staff were having meetings with deputy head teacher Andrew Sear, on Thursday afternoon.

It is understood the school was not evacuated, however some students were kept inside until the situation was resolved.

An administrator at the school said he was being "flooded with calls" from worried parents.
The 18-year-old sister of one pupil, who did not want to be named, said: "It was in the atrium so a bunch of kids would have seen it. "[My sister] was in the top of the English department but could hear screaming."

Southwark Council said the school would re-open on Friday and students would be offered counselling.
