Tributes have been left too at the gates of the school, which is closed today after being placed into lockdown yesterday.

A note from a teacher said: “I only taught you a few times in year 7 but I remember you well.

“Despite being occasionally a little too energetic, you were always polite and friendly. I am so sorry this has happened.”

‘Such a lovely lad’

A 17-year-old pupil, who went to the school to pay his respects, said: “He was such a lovely lad, he was cheeky, but was lovely.

“He would make your day better hearing him down that hallway. You didn’t have to personally know him to be upset.

“Teachers loved him, students loved him, everyone loved him.”

A shrine to Harvey, who was a Sheffield United fan, has also been created outside the club’s Bramall Lane stadium, and in Beighton, where he lived.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday and remained in police custody this morning as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the killing.
