Officers were called to the school in Broomhill Lane after paramedics had arrived to find Jack unconscious in a pool of blood at the entrance to a classroom in the science block.
There were more than 20 pupils in the classroom when it appears a row erupted between the boy and the teacher.
According to parents, Mr Harvey allegedly "snapped" and lashed out at Jack with a weight used to teach science.
Detective Superintendent Adrian Pearson, who is leading the investigation into what happened, said: "The school, the teachers and the parents are absolutely shocked. It was a trauma to all those involved. Something like this is very, very rare and it's important to get to the truth of what has happened.
"We have a full picture of what has taken place and so the welfare of the child and his family are the main concern."
Mr Harvey, who is local to the area, remains in custody at Mansfield police station.

Apparently this is what happened rumours that my dad has told me: The boys were messing around, Making jokes etc.. Like boys do in class. They wound Mr Harvey up so much that he flipped and started throwing Science weights (That are used in experiments) at the boys.
The teacher had been off because he had a heart attack due to stress but came back to school on various medications was seen by the kids talking to himself and shaking in class. So the kids were singing a version of michael jacksons man in the mirror but with psycho in the mirror. This annoyed the teacher.. he took one of the kids into a closet to start beating him with the weights then came out saying "Someones gonna die" He went mental.
