Staff and pupils at Birmingham primary school 'heartbroken' after sudden death of six-year-old pupil

In a letter sent to parents and carers, headteacher Razia Ali said: “It is my sad duty to ensure that you are all aware of the tragic news that one of our pupils, Mohammed Yaseen Uddin, a wonderful and much-loved pupil in Year 2 passed away.

“This has come as a huge shock and we know it will be extremely upsetting for many within our school community.

“Yaseen was an incredibly helpful, kind and caring pupil who brought a smile to the face of everyone who came across him. I know I speak for everyone when I say he will be deeply missed.

“All our thoughts and prayers are with Yasin’s family and friends.”

It is understood he suffered a head injury in a fall.
