'A wonderful and kind student'

“Molly spent seven years at JMHS and was a wonderful student who was always kind and considerate to everyone.

“She was always laughing and enjoying the company of others and was a role model for positivity and friendship. She always put others ahead of herself and was an inspiring young lady.

“She was a hugely valued member of the school during her time with us and we are thinking of her family and friends during such a tragic and difficult time.”
