A teenager has been found guilty of attempted murder after attacking two teachers in a knife attack.
The 14-year-old attacked two teachers and another pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, south Wales, in April last year.
The girl, who cannot be named due to her age, previously denied three counts of attempted murder but admitted to the stabbings.
The jury at Swansea Crown Court heard a week of evidence and watched CCTV of the attack before reaching their verdict.

The court heard how the teenager had brought a weapon to school every day, and on the day of the attack, she took her father's multi-tool knife out of her pocket and first attacked teacher, Fiona Elias.
Student witnesses said the girl told them she would stab Elias and "do something stupid" that would get her expelled.
As the girl attacked Elias, she was accused of yelling "I’m going to f****** kill you" and pulling out a knife. During the trial, the girl told jurors she was sorry for the incident and could not remember large parts of what happened.
She told the court: "It doesn’t sound like me. It doesn’t feel like something I would do."

After the first attack, she then turned to Liz Hopkin, who she did not know. Both teachers said in police interviews they thought they would die as they were stabbed.
She then moved on to stab another girl before being restrained by staff.
All three victims survived the attack, but Hopkin, who was stabbed in the neck, had to be flown to Cardiff by air ambulance.
The jury watched a police officer's bodycam footage in which the girl can be heard making comments about "being a celebrity" following the attack.

Drawings found in her notebooks were also shown to the panel, in which she referred to her teacher as "Mrs Frogface Elias", and the pupil she stabbed with words including "burning, drowning and death".
The court heard the girl had been bullied and would often self-harm at school and at home, since primary school. She accepted she was "rude and irresponsible" towards Elias, and the court heard the teacher had found a knife in her bag in September 2023, which resulted in her being temporarily suspended.
The fourteen-year-old told the court she never intended to kill any of the three or use the knife before that day.
She said, "I suppose I'm sorry", in court.
The teenager will not be sentenced until April
PAThe judge Paul Thomas KC thanked the jury for their work in a "difficult and unusual" trial.
He said: "At the end of the day if she was not a 14-year-old girl and had been an adult the most likely outcome would have been a life sentence."
The judge said he would adjourn sentencing until April 28 for the preparation of pre-sentence reports, including a psychology report.
Addressing the defendant, the judge said: "I am not going to pass sentence today. I need to think about it and need reports prepared upon you. I am not going to be able to pass sentence until April 28.
"I am sorry it is so far ahead in the future but I need to get it right."
