A spokesperson for the school said staff and students are "devastated", describing her as a "lovely student" who would be "sorely missed by staff and students".
They said they were planning a tribute to her 'when the time is right'.

"Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with Amanda’s family at what is an incredibly difficult time.

"Clearly, many members of our school community will be affected by this loss and we will be offering support to those who need it in the weeks and months ahead.

A spokesman for the holiday camp said: "Our thoughts are with the friends and family of those involved."
Matthew Selby, of Windermere Crescent, Ashton-under-Lyne made a brief, initial appearance at Llandudno Magistrates' Court earlier this week, before his appearance this morning at the Crown Court.
No details of the allegation were given.
Police haven't revealed a cause of death.
