Terribly sad news. He was a new Year 7 pupil at Wilmslow High School. His older brother, Year 11, was also in the car but only had minor injuries (this information comes from a public email letter issued by the school Headteacher a few hours ago). I won't put his name on here, in case that's inappropriate, though his family did give permission for the letter to be sent out to other parents...
