Per the BBC, Nick Blackburn, chief executive of Leah's school, said in a statement, "Leah was a much-loved part of our school and our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and the school staff. Counseling is being arranged within the school for pupils and staff.

"We are all in a state of shock and we would ask that the privacy of the family and the school community is respected while we try to come to terms with what has happened."

North Yorkshire Police, the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team (MRT), and Mount Pleasant Primary School didn't immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE.

According to BBC Yorkshire climate correspondent Paul Hudson, the town of Loftus, around 20 miles from the tragedy, saw a month's worth of rainfall in 12 hours on the day of the mudslide.
