Music was a particular passion of Kieran’s and he and his friends had planned to write and record an album together.

The track that the students have gone on to record in his memory, called This Flight, is a group effort involving almost 20 students, with 16-year-olds Beant Dhillon writing and performing the rap, Anaik Dhut on vocals and Callum Hansen writing the music and playing the keyboards.

Jordan Whitworth, head of Greville House at Myton, said: “I’ve been so impressed with the maturity of these students, who have been dealing with the tragic loss of their friend and have found a way to express their grief and also try to make something positive come out of their experience.
