The incident happened at Blundell's School in Tiverton, Devon
A 16-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of two boys at a private school in Devon.
Two students and a staff member were injured at Blundell's School in Tiverton on 9 June.
The teenager, from Tiverton, faces two counts of attempted murder relating to two youths, and one charge of grievous bodily harm with intent against school worker Henry Roffe-Silvester.
The boy, who cannot be named, appeared before Exeter Crown Court on Thursday.
He appeared via video link from a young offenders institute wearing a light grey T-shirt and spoke only to confirm his name and that he understood proceedings.
Judge Peter Johnson said the trial on 4 December would be presided over by a High Court judge but one had not been assigned yet.
The judge set a date of 6 October when the boy will be asked to enter a plea.
