A teenager who murdered Leeds school teacher Ann Maguire in front of her pupils had a "deep seated and irrational hatred" for her.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named, killed the Spanish teacher at Corpus Christi College in April and also planned to murder two other teachers, including one who was pregnant.
He had previously "accepted responsibility for unlawful killing" but this morning issued a formal guilty plea to the murder charge at Leeds Crown Court.

Two months before the murder, the boy sent a message on Facebook which said of Mrs Maguire: "The one absolute f****** bitch that deserves more than death, more than pain and more than anything that we can understand."
He even showed some other pupils the 21cm knife he planned to attack Mrs Maguire with on the day of the murder but "many did not take him seriously", the court heard.
Prosecutor Paul Greaney QC said the teenager stabbed Mrs Maguire seven times from behind in the neck and back as she leaned over a desk to look at another pupil's work.
When she tried to run away, he chased her.
Another teacher saw Mrs Maguire running down a corridor, saying: "He's stabbed me in the neck", with the boy pursuing her. The female teacher pushed her colleague into a workroom and then blocked the door to prevent the boy getting in.
The teacher said that it was obvious Mrs Maguire was terribly wounded and knew the extent of her injuries but later, as she lay injured, she spoke about her children and the fact that she was loved. A paramedic who tried to save her said later that the stab wounds were the worst he had ever seen.
Meanwhile, the boy went back to the classroom and sat down "as if nothing had happened", Mr Greaney said
He said: "He sat down... as if nothing had happened and said that he had stabbed Mrs Maguire. He added that it was a pity she was not dead.
"He said to the entire class 'good times' and spoke of an adrenalin rush."
The teenager then sat with school staff waiting for the police, chatting to them "as if nothing had happened", later telling a psychiatrist "I know the victim's family will be upset, but I don't care, in my eyes everything I've done is fine and dandy".
Prosecutors said that the boy's parents are "decent and responsible" and at a loss to understand what has happened but Mr Greaney said the boy was currently "highly dangerous and has psychopathic elements to his personality".
He added: "That his anger and hatred in fact became focused upon a person as decent and loved as Ann Maguire only makes this more tragic."
Mrs Maguire's husband Don said the "callous cruelty" of the murder "defied comprehension", adding: "Now all dreams have gone forever - the centre of our lives is missing." Her daughter Kerry said the murder "has stripped me of my key support in life: my mummy".
