STUDENTS are calling for change following the death of Sarah Everard.
Flowers were laid at Oxford High School while, the prefect team compiled a statement read out during an assembly.
It read: “We would like to take this time not only to remember Sarah, but also to acknowledge all the other women who are victims of similar tragedies.

“Let us hope that this event will trigger real change for all women, regarding law, education and societal attitudes.
“The nature of the incident hits close to home for a lot of girls and women.
“As a community of incredible young women, we want to help make change together, whilst reflecting on Sarah’s life, ensuring that every student has a chance to speak up and act.”
