Ballakermeen High School says support is available to students following the sudden death of a Year 8 pupil.
Head Teacher Graeme Corrin wrote to parents and guardians informing them of the unexpected death and the support that is available to students.
He said the school is “deeply saddened” by the loss and said the Department of Education, Sport and Culture’s Bereavement Response Team will be on site to offer immediate help.
Adding: “Our immediate thoughts are with the student’s family and those closest to them, as they begin to come to terms with their loss.
“When someone dies it is normal for their friends and family to experience lots of different feelings like sadness, anger and confusion.
“The Department’s Bereavement Response Team will be present in school today to support students who may need time to talk things through, and they will provide further support and guidance over the coming days.”
No further details have been released at this time.
