Incident at North Huddersfield Trust School
“I am shocked and devastated by the tragic death of a pupil from North Huddersfield Trust School. My thoughts are with the family of the victim at this immensely difficult time.
“The council’s priority now is to support the school as they begin to come to terms with this tragedy. We will also be supporting the police with their ongoing investigation.
“This incident has shocked our whole community. But we are unified in our determination to keep residents safe and tackle serious crime in Huddersfield and beyond.
“The council is working with partner organisations, voluntary sector and community organisations to redouble our efforts to prevent serious crime and give reassurance to the community.
“Incidents like this are rare and, every day, individuals and organisations are working to prevent and deter violent crime in Huddersfield. Our youth services, community partnerships, ward councillors and many more will stand shoulder to shoulder with the police and residents as we work to make Huddersfield safer for everyone.”
