Her parents released an emotional statement, saying Freya was 'loved by everybody who had contact with her' and their 'hearts, bodies and souls are aching constantly' following her death. They said: 'Freya was an Angel and was loved by everybody who had contact with her. She was a bundle of energy from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed. She was so strong and determined in everything she did and always tried to help those that struggled. Our princess has gone but we know her spirit and her memories will always be with us. Our lives have been absolutely shattered. Our hearts, bodies and souls are aching constantly and we are left with scars that will never heal. The school is linked with five others in the area, and a governor at a neighbouring school said health and safety procedures were looked into at all those linked to Trafalgar following the death.
