Mr Myers said the girl was brought to his office after the incident, as Mr Durbridge went to see Ms Hopkin, who was “bleeding profusely”.

When police arrived, Mr Myers explained that they asked the girl to open her mouth, to which she replied: “If I had something in my mouth I would have used it to kill myself by now”.

She was asked if she was having any thought of self-harm, to which she replied “no”.

The girl was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and the jury heard she looked down to the ground.

Mr Hughes also described drawings, which were shown to the jury, that were found the in the girl’s schoolbag and bedroom.

One was a drawing with the heading “Mrs Frogface Elias” and another referred to the pupil who was stabbed, with the words “burning”, “drowning”, and “death”.

Phrases like “I want to do something humans aren’t supposed to” and “why do I want to kill others as much I want to kill myself” were also found in books.

As these details were read in court the teenager lowered her head to the table as she sat with her defence team.

The jury were shown photographs of the stab wounds and injuries of both teachers and the pupil.

A statement from the first paramedic on the scene, William Pridmore-Bowen, was also shared with the jury.

He saw Ms Hopkin first, and he confirmed she had multiple stab wounds, and was taken to the air ambulance on a stretcher when it arrived.

The paramedic then went to see Ms Elias and the pupil, who “did not need urgent treatment”, but they were all taken to hospital to be treated.

The trial continues.
