On Monday, the community of Tewkesbury Academy was shaken by a violent incident that resulted in Maths teacher Jamie Sansom being rushed to the hospital with a suspected stab wound.
Parents were placed in an anxious state as the school was put into lockdown following reports of a stabbing.
Mr. Sansom has since released a statement expressing his gratitude for the support he has received. He clarified that contrary to reports, he was not intervening in a fight between students at the time of the incident.
He said, "I am pleased to say that I am recovering well. I was well looked after at Gloucester Royal, and by the police, and I'm grateful for that. My thanks to everyone who helped put me on the road to what is expected to be a full recovery."
"I have received more than one hundred messages of support, which has been a big boost. It was hugely uplifting to know I had that support behind me, and I want to thank all of my colleagues and the parents at Tewkesbury Academy who have taken the time to reach out. It has meant a lot."
Mr. Sansom also expressed his hope to return to the classroom before the summer break, and to have the opportunity to say goodbye to the school before he moves to a new one.
In response to the incident, a teenage boy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is being questioned in custody.
