A 14-year-old girl has died after falling ill at a sports camp.

The sports camp, being held at a school in Derbyshire, was run by the organisation Christians in Sport, which is based in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

On Monday evening (August 14), she was taken ill and transported from Repton School to the hospital via ambulance, where she died later that evening.

The summer camp was being held at Repton School, one of the UK's top private schools, and was meant to run for the week.

The Bicester-based company decided to end the camp early in a statement announcing the death.

The bosses of the Christian sports camp have since spoken of their "shock and sadness".

A spokesperson said: "On Monday, August 14 a young person at our residential camp, Sports Plus, fell ill and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where she sadly died later that evening.

"We are all deeply shocked and saddened by this terrible news. We look to the comfort and hope we have in Jesus Christ and ask that you join us in prayer for the family and those impacted by this tragedy."
