Students bring flowers, candles, cards in memory of Ann Maguire

Parents, children and colleagues bring flowers to the gates of the school where beloved teacher Ann Maguire was stabbed just a couple of days ago.
Corpus Christi Catholic College school mourns the loss of a very much loved teacher Ann Maguire with people bringing flowers, cards and candles building a “shrine”.

*Ann Maguire 
61-year old teacher was stabbed to death on Saturday at her school, the investigation is ongoing.
Ann Maguire was only a couple of weeks from her retirement when she tragically died on her day off when she decided to come to school to help kids prepare for the exams.

She was a Spanish teacher and a teacher of religious studies. She was a surrogate mother, an aunt, a mentor for a big number of students.

The gates to the school where she was teaching kids Spanish are now covered with flowers, most of them saying that she was “the best teacher ever”, “the teacher who made me smile”, "Why couldn’t life deal you the same fairness you dealt us”, all said by kids of past and present.


Kids from the school have decided to do their best at a Spanish test and joined the movement on social networks with a hashtag #AforAnnie.




Here is a video from the school gates with some of the kids telling about what it’s like now.
