An 11-year-old girl has died after she apparently slipped on ice outside her primary school in Lancashire.
Naeemah Achha suffered serious head injuries in the fall near St Michael with St John Primary School in Swallow Drive, Blackburn.
She was taken to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital after the incident on Thursday, but died on Friday.
Head teacher Kay Cant described the year six pupil as an "intelligent, kind and popular girl".
An investigation is under way into the circumstances of her death, and how she came to fall to the ground.
A spokeswoman for Lancashire Police said Naeemah was believed to have slipped on ice, but that officers were still investigating.
