Tragedy struck at Jedburgh Grammar School, located in the beautiful Scottish borders, as news spread of a young girl's sudden passing. The unnamed 15-year-old was found in the school's restroom on Tuesday afternoon. Despite immediate attempts to revive her with CPR, she was tragically declared dead by ambulance crews at 2.20pm.
In light of this heartbreaking event, all activities at the school have been cancelled for the remainder of the week. The safety and well-being of the students and staff is of utmost importance, and the school has arranged for counsellors to be available for anyone in need of support.
Local councillor Scott Hamilton expressed his condolences, stating, "My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved. I have full confidence in the team at the Campus and the Scottish Borders Council to provide the necessary support for those affected."
Meanwhile, Councillor Lesley Munro reached out to parents with a heartfelt message, assuring them that the school is taking every measure to support the school community during this difficult time. She announced that a team of educational psychologists, trained officers, school staff, and partners will be on hand to provide support for as long as needed. Parents were also encouraged to reach out to the school if they had any concerns about their child, as communication is key during such trying times.
Due to the sensitive nature of the situation, all planned events have been postponed and parents' evenings scheduled for this week will be rescheduled for a later date.
The police have confirmed that the girl's death is not suspicious and are preparing a report for the procurator fiscal. However, for anyone struggling to cope with this tragedy, there is support available. The Samaritans, a 24-hour helpline, can provide emotional support through a phone call, email, or in-person visit. Additionally, Papyrus-UK offers support specifically for young people through their HOPELINE247, which is available 24/7.
During this difficult time, let us come together to support one another and remember the life of this young girl who was taken too soon.
