Uzomah was rushed to the hospital where he's said to be in stable condition. The boy has since been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is currently being held in Bradford City Centre.
Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police said specially trained staff were talking to the children who "potentially witnessed something horrendous".
Police were alerted by paramedics who were called to the school at around 8.55am.
