Head teacher confirms student death on France trip

A 12-year-old girl from Yorkshire has died on a school trip to an adventure centre in France, after what organisers called a "swimming incident".

The pupil from Wolfreton School, near Hull, was taken to hospital in Limoges by air ambulance on Tuesday afternoon, but later died.

Dave McCready, head teacher at Wolfreton School said: "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go to the family at this very difficult time".
