The mother of a 13-year-old girl who was stabbed by another pupil at South Woodham's William de Ferrers school has spoken of the family's anguish.

Katie Burrows suffered a minor wound to the chest and another below the waist after she was allegedly attacked with a craft knife in an art lesson.

Mother Sharon Burrows was called to the school last Wednesday, but was first told her daughter had suffered a cut finger.
