School Defends Teachers Over Pupils Death
A public school has defended its head teacher and chair of governors after an MP called for their resignations in the House of Commons.
Wealden MP Charles Hendry said they should resign from Worth School over their handling of the death of a pupil.
William Avery-Wright, 13, was killed in a car crash outside the school near Turners Hill, West Sussex, in 2011.
William’s mother Lisa said their resignations would have shown true contrition.
It’s alleged that William was crossing Paddockhurst Road unsupervised to play in a rugby match when he died, which breached the school’s health and safety policy.
An inquest in Crawley last year recorded that William’s death was an accident.
