The boy was injured during a fight at Broadoak Comprehensive School in Partington at midday and died an hour later at Trafford General Hospital.
Police have confirmed that an argument took place, and that the two boys were present at the time of the altercation, but refused to give details about their involvement. However they said initial inquiries suggested no weapon had been used in the fight.
The death comes just days the British government and the Conservatives unveiled plans to deal with disruptive pupils in school.
British Education Secretary Mr Charles Clarke published a "statement of expectations" for pupil behaviour and promised new powers for head teachers to tackle problems, such as the carrying of knives in school.
He also said that excluded pupils should be shared between schools to limit the number of disruptive pupils at any one place.
