An inquest resumes today into the death of an 11-year-old boy during a school swimming lesson.

Nathan Matthews went under water at the shallow end of the pool but failed to resurface in July 2004. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Nathan, a pupil at Stokenchurch primary school in Buckinghamshire, was among a group of school children taking part in lessons in the leisure centre pool at Thame, in Oxfordshire.

Nathan was one of six children from a family who lived in Stokenchurch.

The inquest, starting at 10am at Oxford's Old Assizes, is listed to go on for two weeks.
