Jessica Baker, 15, and coach driver Stephen Shrimpton, 40, died following the crash on the M53
Children affected by the M53 coach crash are being supported by teachers who have ridden with them on the bus on their way to school.
They remain in hospital in a stable condition. A number of others suffered minor injuries and were discharged after attending an emergency clearing centre. Stephen Gray, head teacher at Calday Grange Grammar School, told BBC Breakfast that specialist trauma support would be on site at both schools this week.
Asked how everybody is coping, Mr Gray added: "I think in the circumstance they’re managing really well. It never ceases to amaze me, the human spirit really. "At the age of 15, [she was] just starting year 11 at West Kirby Grammar School where her focus was not just on academic work but also sports representing the school at many events. Her untimely death has led to a massive void in our lives that will never be filled. She will be missed by many from not only school but also the climbing community across the country."
Floral tributes have continued to be left both at the M53 and at West Kirby Grammar School. Merseyside Police and Wirral and Cheshire West Councils are continuing to offer trauma support to those affected by the heartbreaking incident.
