A 16-year-old has admitted killing teacher Ann Maguire in a classroom stabbing.
The teenager is accused of murdering the 61-year-old Spanish teacher at the Corpus Christi College in Leeds in April this year.
Prosecuting barrister Paul Greaney QC told a hearing at Leeds Crown Court that the boy didn't admit murder but said: "It did amount to an admission of manslaughter."
No formal plea was entered but defence barrister Richard Wright QC said the boy had "accepted responsibility for unlawful killing".
The schoolboy, who cannot legally be identified because of his age, appeared via video link from an undisclosed location.
He wore blue trousers and a red T-shirt and responded clearly to confirm details of his identity and that he understood what was happening.
Members of Mrs Maguire's family sat in the public gallery for the 10-minute hearing.
Others have been jailed over recent months for doing so, Judge Peter Collier QC said. The boy was remanded in custody until the next hearing on September 26.
Psychiatric reports will now be prepared before the trial, which is due to start on November 3.
