Ann Maguire is the only teacher to be murdered by a pupil in a British classroom The school gates outside Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds were awash with colour in April 2014. Bouquets of flowers blanketed the street and stretched down toward the nearby church. A young girl, stopping at the school entrance with her two friends, reached up on her tip-toes to tie a bright pink sign to the gates, love hearts drawn across it.
There were discussions on the potential use of metal detectors to clamp down on knives, and parents spoke in hushed whispers over whether their children needed better protection. And the story of 48-year-old Philip Lawrence, killed in 1995, was revisited in the wake of Ann’s death. Headteacher Philip had been stabbed to death at the gates of St. George’s Roman Catholic School in Maida Vale, London, when he tried to break up a fight.
