A 14-year-old girl appeared at Swansea Crown Court today charged with three counts of attempted murder, which she denies.
The teen, who legally can’t be named, has admitted three counts of wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article on a school premises.
A two week trial is due to begin at the same court on September 30.
The girl, who was aged 13 at the time, was remanded into secure youth detention accommodation.
Pupils were kept in classrooms during a “code red” lockdown after teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin were knifed.
A girl was also injured in the frenzy, which saw police swarm the school.
The rampage came to an end when hero teacher Darrell Campbell “wrestled the knife” out of the teen girl’s grip.
Mrs Hopkin, 53, who works with special needs students, was stabbed four times.
While drama and Welsh teacher Ms Elias, who is head of year, was rushed to hospital after being knifed in the neck.
All three victims have now been discharged from hospital after suffering non life-threatening injuries.
