A letter sent to parents, which has been seen by the BBC, said bereavement counsellors were at the school and "will be available for a long as they are required".
Bath Rugby have also paid tribute to the schoolboy, who was a member of their academy team, saying he was a "truly promising young player".
"We feel lucky as a club to have been able to support Max on his rugby journey in recent seasons, and this news is something that everyone in the Academy feels deep sadness about," the club said.
"As a club we will do all we can to support Max's family and teammates both now and in the future."
