A 16-year-old boy has admitted bringing a knife into school in Gloucestershire. 

The teenager brought the weapon into Holmleigh Park High in Tuffley - previously known as Beaufort Community School - on November 13 last year.

The boy cannot be named due to his age.  

The case was heard at Cheltenham Magistrates Court on Friday, April 12 where the teen pleaded guilty to possessing a blade on school premises.

He was ordered to pay £85 in costs and a £26 surcharge - a total of £111.

The boy was also ordered to take part in youth offender panel meetings for six months.
