A spokesperson for Beacon Education, which the school is a part of, said: “Our entire school community are devastated by this news, and we will do everything we can to support everyone affected.”
“We are working closely with the emergency services and relevant authorities, and we will support our pupils, staff, and families at this incredibly difficult time,” they added.
Peter Prior-Sankey, director of coach company Ridlers, said their 70-seater vehicle was involved in Thursday’s crash.
“We have since been liaising with both the school, and the emergency services, while we try to understand the extent of the incident,” he said.
“Our hearts of course go out to the school pupils and to our driver. We will be doing everything possible to understand what has happened.”
