Tewkesbury Fatal Stabbing: Tewkesbury School Teacher Stabbed Report as Teenager Arrested at Tewkesbury Stabbing
Tewkesbury Fatal Stabbing: Following claims that a student had attacked a teacher, police were called to a secondary school this morning. At 9:08 a.m. on Monday, July 10, police closed Tewkesbury School, which is near the Worcestershire border, and Tirlebook Primary.
A male teacher who had been stabbed was attended to by paramedics on the scene and was being closely watched at Gloucester Royal Hospital. A teenage teenager was later apprehended, according to Gloucestershire police.
Headteacher Kathleen McGillycuddy of Tewkesbury School acknowledged that “this morning has been a worrying time for all,” but reassured parents that all students were “safe and well.” After the stabbing, local MPs and the education secretary reacted quickly.

Tirlebrook Primary School Report About the Incident
“An incident occurred this morning at Tewkesbury Academy (Tewkesbury School) and we have been advised by Tewkesbury Police to put in place a lockdown. We have a police presence at school and are being fully supported at this time. We would like to reassure all families that children at Tirlebrook and Little Oaks are safe and well. We must ask that families do not come to school during this time as this could compromise the police operation currently underway and also compromise the safety of the children. During this situation, all school staff will be supporting the children and liaising with the police so we would ask that you do not attempt to communicate with the school office. We thank you all for your support and will update you as soon as possible when we know more. Best wishes, Mr Lockley & Miss Jaryczewski”
Investigations are still ongoing.
