A 49-year-old science teacher is to appear in court charged with the attempted murder of a 14-year-old pupil at a Nottinghamshire school.

Police said the alleged incident took place at the school, in Broomhill Lane, on Wednesday.

Mr Harvey will appear at Mansfield Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Jack was initially taken to King's Mill Hospital but later transferred to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, where his condition was described as serious but stable on Friday morning.
