School 'deeply shocked' to hear of former student's death

The Market Bosworth School is devastated to hear the news that ex-student, Richard Mayne, died tragically yesterday whilst travelling on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.

We would like to pass on our deepest sympathies to his family and friends at this extremely difficult time. Richard was a caring and intelligent young man. He was very popular with his classmates and played an enormous part in our school.

We are shocked that his life has been cut so short and know that our school community will be forever proud of his association with us.
