Sue Hearle, Headteacher at The Henry Beaufort School

This is a distressing incident and we are extremely relieved that it wasn’t more serious.

With help from Hampshire Country Council’s home to school transport and Educational Psychology teams we will be supporting all the pupils involved and their families.

I do not want to speculate on the circumstances leading up to the incident but our thoughts go out to all those who have been affected.

The Senior Leadership Team was on site within minutes. I’d like to personally say how proud I am of the response of our children and their families.

Thank you, I have no further comment at this time. I am sure you appreciate there is still a lot of work that all services involved need to do.

Any further information that you require please contact the press office at Hampshire County Council.
