A 15-year-old boy has been hospitalised after a stabbing at a secondary school in east London.

The Metropolitan Police said it was called to a school, near Queen Elizabeth park, just after 12:30 GMT on Thursday, following reports of assault.

The victim suffered a stab wound to the leg. His injuries are not thought to be life-changing, the Met said.

Three boys have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remain in custody, the force added.

All pupils have been cleared from the building and no other injuries have been reported, the force said.

Officers are continuing to work closely with the school and a crime scene is in place.
