Teachers on school trip where 12-year-old drowned to be quizzed in French court
Six years on, the parents of Jessica Lawson are still waiting for answers
Jessica Lawson, 12, who died on a school trip to France six years ago
Three teachers who were on a school trip which ended in tragedy after one of the pupils drowned while swimming are to face questioning in a French court.
Wolfreton School pupil Jessica Lawson was just 12 when she drowned in a lake while on a five-day trip to France.
The children were given the go-ahead by school staff for a swim in the lake, which had a floating pontoon which they were jumping off. But the pontoon overturned, and unknown to everyone Jessica did not re-surface and was submerged for several minutes before she was found and brought out by the French lifeguard on duty.
