Harvey Willgoose: 8ft fence planned at All Saints school in Sheffield where 15-year-old was stabbed to death

An application has been submitted for anti-climb fence around a 16-acre plot which also encloses Seven Hills School and Goals Sheffield five-a-side football venue on Norfolk Park Road.

Sheffield City Council’s planning portal states the bid was received on March 6 and is awaiting a decision.

It comes after 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose died at the school on February 3.

After his death, his mum, Caroline, called for knife arches in every school.

She said: “I don’t want another child to be where Harvey is and the number one thing for me is knife arches in every school.”

The day before she spoke out, hundreds joined an anti-knife peace march to Bramall Lane.
