"The defendant disliked him, claiming he couldn't teach, and freely referred to him by the epithet beginning with the letter n, including saying it in anger just before he attacked him," he said.
He said the boy attacked Mr Uzomah after a row over his mobile phone.
'Out of control'
The teenager was described by witnesses as "getting angry, red in the face", Mr Sharp said.

"Mr Uzomah thought he was going to die."

'Trauma and pain'
About 20 minutes after the attack, the court heard, the boy, who was not arrested until six hours later, boasted on Facebook about the stabbing.
The post received 69 "likes", something the judge described as "an appalling reflection of a small microcosm of our society".
Speaking outside court, Mr Uzomah said: "As a Christian, I have forgiven this boy who has inflicted this trauma and pain on to me and my family.
"It was, however, important for the law to run its course and for a strong message to be sent out, especially to kids of similar tendencies, that violence is never acceptable.
"Our prayer for him is that he will make use of the opportunities and support that will be provided to him, to become a changed person who will make a positive contribution to society."
