Thame Headteacher pays tribute to murdered teacher

THE Headteacher of Lord Williams’s school has paid tribute to a ‘courageous and warmhearted’ teaching assistant, stabbed to death while walking her dog in an Aylesbury park.

David Wybron said: “We received desperately sad news on Sunday, that Sally Garwood, one of our teaching assistants at the Autism Resource Base, Oxford Road, was attacked in a park in Aylesbury on Saturday and died as a result of injuries received. This tragic event has deeply shocked friends, colleagues and students at school.”

Members of staff at the Autism Resource Base commented today: “Words cannot be found at the moment to express our grief. We can only offer our thoughts and the memories we share. Sally was warm ?hearted, caring and full of fun. She was courageous when facing her own problems and generous when helping others with theirs. Much of her life was spent helping others and we will all miss her company and support. Our sadness is beyond measure.”
