Willgoose Family Urges Full Report Release on School's Missed Safeguarding Opportunities
The Willgoose family demands transparency after an independent review found multiple safeguarding failures and issued 10 recommendations to prevent knife incidents in schools.
- On February 3, 2025, 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose was fatally stabbed during lunch at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield by fellow pupil Mohammed Umar Khan, who brought a hunting knife into school.
- An independent review commissioned by the Trust found systemic safeguarding failures, including unrequested records and unclear responsibility, leaving staff unaware of prior incidents.
- Last year, pupils reported that Khan had previously carried a knife and brought a BB gun on a trip, but staff searches did not lead to safety plans, and Silverdale records showed 130 incidents unreviewed.
- Speaking on the anniversary, Mark and Caroline Willgoose urged the Trust to publish the full report and said they have had no apology from the school, despite the report's findings and the trust's decision not to release it.
- The report's 10 recommendations urge the Department for Education to issue national guidance, with Sheffield City Council and St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust urged to adopt system fixes, while the family calls for full report publication.
