The two pupils were asleep in cabin-style beds in one of the co-ed school’s boarding houses when Huang climbed up and attacked them shortly before 1am on June 9 last year.
Housemaster Henry Roffe-Silvester, who was asleep in his own quarters, was woken by noises coming from the boarding house and went to investigate.
When he entered the bedroom where the attack had happened, he saw a silhouetted figure standing in the room, who then turned towards him and repeatedly struck him over the head with a hammer.
Another student heard Mr Roffe-Silvester shouting and swearing as he fled the bedroom and dialled 999 – believing there was an intruder.
The two boys were discovered in their beds a few minutes later.
They had suffered skull fractures and injuries to their ribs, spleen, a punctured lung and internal bleeding.
The court heard both are living with the “long-term consequences” of the attack but have no memory of the incident. One boy suffered permanent brain damage.
Mr Roffe-Silvester received six blows to his head but made a full recovery.
At the sentencing hearing, Mrs Justice Cutts lifted the reporting restriction preventing the teenager being identified.
But lawyers representing Huang indicated they wished to appeal and Mrs Justice Cutts ordered a stay on her ruling.
A court official has now confirmed no appeal will be made and the judge has lifted the stay allowing him to be publicly identified for the first time.
