'Urgent building reviews are to be carried out after a 12-year-old pupil died at school when a wall within a PE changing room collapsed'.

The girl, named locally and on social media as Keane Wallis-Bennett, was pronounced dead at Liberton High School in Edinburgh shortly before 10am today. Her family have been informed.

Pupils were sent home early, while police and health and safety officials launched an inquiry.

The school will not reopen this week and a full council survey of Liberton High will be completed before pupils return from the Easter holidays in three weeks.

Thoughts?

My thought: Shocking and it turned out that the school was fined previously when a lift shaft hurt a pupil at the same school...

So sickening how this situation even happened, especially when it has been reported that the wall wobbled and was reported by another student! Yet again it'll take something extreme like this in order for someone to realise they're not doing their job properly, this happens all to often nowadays.

It's a shame people don't respect teens more. I bet just because they were young they decided the issue wasn't as important while as if an adult reported it they probably would have took it more serious

That's so sad :( It's shocking that it happened at a school too. If it was reported previously and nothing was done about it, then what the hell is the school playing at.
