Georgia Scarff Inquest Concludes Evidence With Focus on Safeguarding Record Gaps

The coroner flagged missing emails in the school's CPOMS log, with a conclusion due October 10.

Overview

  • The school's lead nurse said the death was the last outcome she expected after January and March consultations in which Georgia did not appear distressed.
  • The coroner highlighted that emails from family and staff were not fully uploaded to CPOMS, potentially limiting what colleagues could access.
  • The school counsellor said Georgia had three sessions in March 2024 and appeared to mask her internal distress while finding boarding difficult.
  • Her head of house testified staff were concerned but not alarmed, pointing to typical Year 11 exam stress as GCSEs approached.
  • Evidence confirmed the Year 11 weekly boarder was on a watched list with an action plan and died after a 1:20am call to her mother before being struck on the A14 on April 15, 2024.
