Everyone at our school is utterly devastated by the loss of Charlie, it’s a loss you just cannot comprehend. Charlie was such a popular boy with his class mates and staff alike, and we were so lucky to have him as a pupil at our school, part of our Flo Melly family. He was always full of energy and had an enthusiasm for everything he did. Everyday he bounded into school with the biggest smile on his face! He just loved football and cross-country and when he raced, he always represented the school proudly. You could always expect 100% commitment to our DREAMS core values from Charlie, in everything he did.

On Friday, our school community came together to support each other. It was the hardest of days but we were there for each other and spent time remembering what an incredible boy Charlie was. We will continue to do everything we can to support his friends and our staff in the difficult days, weeks and months to come.

Our hearts are broken for Charlie’s family and we will be there for them every step of the way. They are, and will always be, a huge part of our Flo Melly family.
