The case was mentioned on January 27 at Swindon Crown Court and on January 30 he changed his plea to guilty for two of these charges, while the third charge will remain on his file.
All of these offences are alleged to have taken place on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
The 15-year-old's guilty pleas mean the case will not be sent to trial.
He will be remanded in a youth detention centre pending his sentencing at Swindon Crown Court on March 17.
