A Cotswolds school has issued a moving tribute to three of its pupils after their “sudden and tragic” deaths. Harry Purcell, 17, and Matilda Seccombe, 16, and 16-year-old Frank Wormald died after the Ford Fiesta they were travelling in collided with another car on a rural road near Shipston-on-Stour on Friday afternoon.
Gloucestershire Live reports that all three teenagers attended Chipping Campden School’s sixth form. The school’s principal, John Sanderson, said: “On behalf of the students, staff and governors of Chipping Campden School I should like to pay tribute to the three members of our school community who lost their lives in Friday’s tragic road accident.
“Our collective thoughts are very much with their families, and the families of all those who remain in hospital recovering from their injuries.”
