Statement Following Avonmouth Incident
The Principal, Governing Body, staff and students of Weston College are deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Luke Wheaton. We have extended our deepest condolences to Luke’s family at this incredibly sad time and are providing support to students and staff here at the College in Weston-super-Mare.
Luke had been recruited and employed as an apprentice by Wessex Water starting in September this year, with Weston College providing the education element of the programme.
We also offer our heartfelt condolences to the other families and friends who have lost their loved ones and they are also in our thoughts.
The College will be holding a minute’s silence during this week in honour of Luke and the other victims of the Avonmouth tragedy, Michael James, Brian Vickery and Raymond White.
