Mia was a pupil of Workington Academy.

Executive headteacher Des Bird said: “The whole school community is shocked at this incredibly sad news and we offer our deepest sympathies and condolences to all Mia’s family and friends.

“ Mia was such a kind and caring girl, who was always smiling and helping others. She had the most infectious sense of humour and would always see the good in every situation. She was an amazing and loyal friend who will be sadly missed by all of the teachers and students in our school.

“Workington Academy is part of a close-knit community and the loss of Mia and her father will be felt keenly by very many people

“We will be holding assemblies to remember them and to ensure that everyone knows there is specialist support available for both our young people and our staff.”
