Head teacher Denis Oliver said in a statement Wednesday that the school community was devastated by the news.

Oliver also confirmed that another Year 9 student, Freya Lewis, was badly injured in the attack.

Freya's father, Nick Lewis, was quoted as saying that his daughter had undergone 10f hours of surgery and was in a stable condition.

The head teacher, Chris Upton, said her death was "a tremendous shock to all of us."

"The thought that anyone could go out to a concert and not come home is heartbreaking," he said.

The schoolgirl had been at the concert with her mother, Lisa Roussos, and sister, Ashlee Bromwich, in her 20s, from Leyland, Lancashire. They are both now in separate hospitals being treated for injuries, friends said.

Peter Rawlinson, deputy of the Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy in Croston, northwest of Manchester, where Callander was a former pupil, told The Associated Press that her family had confirmed the death.

Rawlinson says Callander "was academically a very gifted student, very hard-working. Just lovely to speak to."
The school posted a photo of Georgina on its website, smiling and look smart in her school uniform. It said she died of wounds from the attack and described her as "a lovely young student who was very popular with her peers and the staff."

Runshaw College in Leyland, Lancashire said Callander expressed "enormous sadness" at her death, saying she was on the second year of her health and social care course.
