THE death of a student taken ill at Tilbury's Gateway Academy has been confirmed.

A statement from the school today (Friday, 3 March) said: "Following the medical emergency at The Gateway Academy on Thursday, 2 March involving a student who became very unwell in a PE lesson it is with great sadness that we inform our community that she died in hospital last night.
