The NHS and police will be visiting both schools involved this week to offer pupils support, according to one of the headteachers.
Staff are accompanying students on their journeys to and from school after a bus crash on the M53 killed one of their peers.The headteacher of Calday Grange Grammar School, which also had pupils on the bus, said Monday would be a"difficult day" for students and teachers at both schools."First of all we have staff travelling on the buses, we thought that was important," he said.
"There will be obviously angst about travelling to school in the first place. So we are working with West Kirby in terms of staffing the buses."In a tweet on Monday, he said of the victims:"Both were cherished members of our wider school community, and their absence will be profoundly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing them.""I looked around and there's just people lying down everywhere. Bags are everywhere," they said.
"There's glass everywhere. And it's just like blood everywhere. I've seen both my mates on the floor, but I thought they were dead. "I looked around again and saw a girl stood next to me. I was in shock, I put my hand on my face. I looked back at my hand and it was covered in blood, I remember saying, this can't be my blood."Some of the pupils were taken to nearby hospitals, while others were taken to an emergency services training centre, with 13 treated for minor injuries.
Mr Shrimpton, who was driving the bus, is believed to have suffered"medical issues" at the wheel, his sister-in-law wrote on a crowdfunding page.
