The parents of a 'gifted' pupil found dead at a leading independent school have paid tribute to her.

Wycombe Abbey School student Caitlyn Scott-Lee passed away on on Friday, April 21, just days before she was due to sit her GCSEs.

Her family have set up a fundraising page in her memory hoping to donate the proceeds to the things Caitlyn loved most, nature, the environment, sustainability and birds.

In a heartfelt statement, her parents describe her as "gifted with autism" and commented on how Caitlyn had an ability to "see the world uniquely". They said she "thrived" at her boarding house at the High Wycombe based school.

Friends and family members have been sharing tributes on the page too, with kind words and memories they have of Caitlyn.
