Latest response from the school:

STATEMENT FROM THE STUDY PREP SCHOOL WIMBLEDON REGARDING CPS DECISION AND POLICE REVIEW OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE FATAL COLLISION LAST JULY​

Since the decision of No Further Action was announced by the Crown Prosecution Service last week, as a community we have had the opportunity to meet the police on three occasions to ask them questions regarding the investigation and its process and the basis of the decision by the CPS. There were a number of what we believe were fundamental questions regarding the investigation, raised by our staff and parents who were directly affected, that the police were unable to answer.

The police in these meetings acknowledged that they were unable to answer these questions adequately. The police announced during the first of the three meetings that they would review the investigation, which is now in process; subsequently the Senior Investigating Officer on the case has been replaced.

We very much welcome the review that the police have decided to undertake and we look forward to hearing the outcome. The police have said that they will not be making a public announcement about this review but we believe it is important that the decision to carry out a review is known to our school community as well as the wider public, hence including this information in our statement.

The school community has waited quietly and patiently over the last year to allow the police to carry out a full and detailed investigation and for the CPS to reach a decision. As we approach the anniversary of the horrific incident, we deserve to feel confident in the thoroughness of the police investigation so that we are all able properly to address the tragedy that happened here last July.
