It was with sadness and shock that I received the news of the tragic death of Jodie Chesney, an Upper 6^th A Level student here at Havering Sixth Form College.

Jodie was an excellent, hard-working and focussed student and her loss is devastating to staff and students.

Our focus for the next few days will be on providing support for the college community as a whole with additional help, as needed, for those who knew Jodie personally.

I will issue a further statement in due course. I extend my deepest sympathy, and that of my staff, to Jodie’s family and friends.
