Staff at Kidmore End CE Primary School have also expressed their ‘devastation’ at the loss of young Oscar. Martina Parsons, interim executive headteacher of Kidmore End CE Primary, wrote: ‘We are utterly devastated to have lost Oscar.‘He was unfailingly polite, holding the door open and responding to thanks every time with a sincere “you’re welcome”. He loved his family and talked about them in school regularly.
‘Most recently in school he loved our day on the river and was thoroughly enjoying acting and singing in the Leavers’ Play alongside his friends and classmates. ‘We have an incredibly strong school community and we will be doing our utmost to support Oscar’s family, our pupils and staff as we come to terms with what has happened together.’
