Lucas Walker, a pupil at Bramble Brae School in Aberdeen and his mother Julie, 37, both died while in the sea at the beach on Saturday.
Amanda Murray, head teacher at Bramble Brae School, told the Evening Express: “Pupils, teachers and the wider school community are deeply saddened, and in a state of shock following the dreadful news of Lucas’s and his mum’s tragic deaths at the weekend.
“Lucas, who had just started Primary Three, was a lovely little boy who was popular amongst his classmates and staff at the school.
“On behalf of everyone at Bramble Brae School we would like to express our deepest condolences to Lucas’s family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.”
