"Now we must think about how to help the children left devastated"
The headteacher of Tarleton Community Primary School attended by the child, Chris Upton, said: "The news of Saffie's death in yesterday's horrific attack has left us all in shock and I would like to send our deepest condolences to her family and friends." He also added that the very thought that someone could go to a concert and never come home again is unacceptable. "Saffie was simply a beautiful little girl in every sense of the word. She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be fondly remembered."
"Our focus now is on helping the children and staff to come to terms with this terrible situation and we have brought in specialist support from Lancashire County Council to help us," Upton concluded.
