A PRIMARY school, in WGC, has paid tribute to one of its pupils.

Lewis McGlynn, who died during the early hours of Friday, has been remembered as a “born performer” by his headteacher at Harwood Hill school.

Philip Gray, of the Harwood Close-based school, said of the eight-year-old: “Lewis was a likeable boy with a cheeky smile and a great sense of humour.

“A born performer, he particularly loved singing and dancing around the campfire on the school residential trip to Cuffley camp.

“We knew Lewis as a charmer, with a big, lively personality, who loved football and playing with his friends. Lewis was a key member of his class and will be sorely missed by pupils, staff and everyone connected with the school.”

Lewis was found hanged at his home in The Vineyard.

Paramedics were called at 12.05am on Friday before he was taken to the Lister Hospital, where he died.

Police have confirmed he died “in a tragic accident”.
