A Nottingham headteacher says she is 'heartbroken' after her friend and colleague Emma Pattison was found dead in a property on the grounds of Epsom College. Surrey Police says that Ms Pattison, 45, was found dead along with her husband George, 39, and daughter Lettie, seven, in the early hours of Sunday (January 5).
Emma Pattison was the Head of Epsom College, a private school based in Surrey. But up until September last year, Ms Pattison had been the head of Croydon High School.
Croydon High School is run by the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), of which the Nottingham Girls' High School is also a part. Julie Keller, the Head of Nottingham Girls' High School, has now paid tribute to her friend and colleague Emma Pattison.
