A science teacher beat a pupil around the head with a dumbbell while shouting "die, die, die", a court heard.

Peter Harvey, 50, hit the 14-year-old boy with a 3kg weight at All Saints' Roman Catholic School, Mansfield, a jury heard.

He denies attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, but has admitted a charge of GBH.

Nottingham Crown Court was told students were filmed calling Mr Harvey a "psycho" moments before the attack.

    • When I was sitting my GCSE's back in high school I was in a class much like that much to my misfortune. The entire class were uncontrollable & they'd wind the teacher up on purpose for some kind of sick game. It's no wonder why they all failed to get even a B.

    • I think people are also missing the fact that the teacher kicked a girl in the same lesson prior to the other children in the class becoming extremely disruptive and swearing at him. The whole class sounds like chaos.

    • I cant make my mind up about this story, clearly the kid was a little s**t! and the teacher should not have had to put up with such backward unruly pupils that took sick pleasure in filming themselves mentally torturing the teacher, even from when i was in school, i know how nasty pupils can be, maybe better discipline in schools would be a better deterrent, so we dont have poor teachers, who only want to do best, having to put up with stupid kids whose parents are just as stupid, bring back the cane, dont be naughty and you wont get caned, simple.

    • This is an old story. But, the kid has deserved it. The teacher had just come back after mental health problems. The kid decided he wanted to get the teacher to crack... and he did.

      When it happened, I remember the whole school, the teachers & parents of the children in support for the guy. It was the kids fault.
