THE teacher who was stabbed in a school corridor is “recovering well” after leaving hospital, his secondary school said today.

A teenage boy is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder after a male teacher was attacked at Tewkesbury Academy in Gloucestershire just after 9am on Monday.

The academy was locked down and two neighbouring schools were also asked to shut their doors as a “precaution,” assistant chief constable Richard Ocone of Gloucestershire Police said.
