The dead teenager  was identified at the scene as Harvey  Willgoose.
A 15-year-old boy has died after being stabbed at a school in Sheffield, police have  said.
The boy,  identified locally as Harvey Willgoose, was injured at All Saints Catholic High School,  on Granville Road in the city, at  around 12:17  GMT.
Police and paramedics were called but the teenager died a short time  later.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody, South Yorkshire Police  said.
Deputy Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield told a  news conference  that forces were working  "rapidly to build a full picture of what happened and how this tragedy  unfolded". "We urge you to  remember that  their loved ones  are at the  heart of  this issue," he added.
A large police presence  was in and around the  school.
All Saints  School principal Sean Pender sent a message to parents on  January 29  regarding the  site's closure.
He explained that the action was due to "threatening  behavior among a small number of  students."
ACC Butterfield was asked about the  information at the press conference, but the officer said  he could not share any  further information. He concluded the press conference by  asking people to avoid speculation and sharing content online  "that could be  upsetting to them [the family] and detrimental to our  investigation."
A police officer approaches  the camera as numerous emergency vehicles line  both sides of  the road with crime scene  tape.
The area has been  cordoned off as police  launch an investigation.
Several tributes and  floral messages  were left outside the school  that evening.
One message described the teenager as someone who was  the "life of  the party" who "brought joy and laughter to everyone who knew  him."
He added that  "his bubbly personality was  contagious."
"I will never forget all the moments, all the  laughter. "You will be missed by  a lot of people," he said.
A teenager who said he knew the 15-year-old also left a  bouquet of flowers outside the  school.
The 17-year-old, who studies at a local college, heard the news through friends and said the  dead boy was a Sheffield  United supporter.
He said: "I'm a bit upset to be honest,  it's been a  huge shock."
"He seemed  like a  pretty happy guy and nice to  get to know."
A pupil at All Saints said the victim  was a  "nice kid." "It made your day better  to hear him  in that  corridor. "You didn't have to know him  personally to be  angry," said the  17-year-old.
"The teachers loved him,  the students loved him, everyone loved  him.
"I've been at the school for seven years and nothing like this has ever happened."

The school is  due to  close to pupils on  Tuesday.
The school was last inspected by Ofsted in October 2023 and was  judged good overall, with inspectors saying the school had a "strong ethos of warmth and  respect".
A number of parents had arrived at the school to collect their children  early. One told the BBC  he was anxious to  take his child home after hearing  several rumours about what had happened, adding  that "the children were  panicking".
According to local newspaper The Star, the school's  headmaster sent a message to parents on  Monday.
He said  he was  "shocked and  saddened" to have to tell people  that a  student had been  stabbed to death.
He also said the school would be closed on  Tuesday.
Amaan Ahmed, who  runs the Castle Asian Community Trust near the school, said the area was no stranger to knife  crime. The organisation works with young people to help them stay away from  knives.
He fears the boy's death  will prompt parents  to question whether they should send their children back to  school.
"If this could happen in a public place like a school, people  would be worried about going to the  park, I  think," he  added.
"Serious question"
Asked about the incident  during a trip to Brussels, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said his first thoughts "as a father" were  for the victim's  family.
"The horrific massacre in Sheffield is  a case where I think the whole country would  like to reach out to the family, the friends, the school, the  whole community in their grief and  sit with them," he  said. Louise Haigh, MP for Sheffield Heeley, said the news was  "terrible" and her thoughts were with all  those affected.
"There are serious questions  that need to be answered about how this could have  happened," she said, adding  that she  would work with the school, police and  council "to ensure that is the  case."
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said she was  "devastated" by the  boy's death.
She added:  "We are in  touch with the school and  the council to offer  our support."
In an emotional  statement, Education Secretary Catherine McKinnell told the Commons:  "My heart goes out to his family, friends and the  whole school community at this very  difficult time."
South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard said he had spoken  to the county's chief executive, Lauren Poultney, and offered her his full  support.
"This morning a  teenager went to school like thousands of others  in South  Yorkshire, but  he will not return home; a young man who was a member of our community, with his whole life ahead of him," he  said.

Anti-crime campaigner Anthony Olaseinde  said he had  been holding sessions at All  Saints.
Sheffield-based Anthony Olaseinde is an  anti-knife crime campaigner for the charity Always an Alternative and said the incident was  "heartbreaking".
"Something like this  shouldn't happen," he  said.
He said the charity had  been holding sessions at All Saints and  had been working with young people at the  school.
"I was at the school  as a mentor to them," he  said.
" We  held sessions on conflict  management. We made a short film  to raise awareness  among young people at  school about knife crime.
"The young people were really engaged and positive."
He called for better support and  increased resources for organisations working with  young people.
