Karanbir Cheema, 13, fell seriously ill during a morning tea break at his west London school.
The boy, known as Karan to his friends, managed to make it to the school office where his medication for his severe allergies was kept.
But by the time paramedics arrived at the school, he was in a life-threatening condition, the Evening Standard reported.

Your website needs a new editor. I like the content of your stories, but I find it hard to read when sentences aren't grammatically correct.
Some people see food allergies as a type of political correctness gone mad. I don't agree, but pay attention to how some people respond to stories of nuts, milk etc being banned because of allergies.
I think that whilst the parents of the bullies may have made mistakes, it is society and particularly social leaders who are shaping discourse about freedom, expertise and 'snowflakes'.
As long as we continue to be lead by the selfish and the ignorant, we will see these types of tragedies. It takes a society to raise kids, not just parents or schools.
