‘The love and care expressed for Mrs Lloyd’s family and the college was indeed humbling and we will be forever grateful to staff, students, families and friends for the way they have supported each other at such a difficult time.
‘We are appealing for donations of purple flowering shrubs or plants which can be left outside reception.’
Mrs Lloyd had worked at the school since September 2012, leading the Behaviour Team and as Victorious House Progress Leader since April 2014.
