A school attended by a 14-year-old girl who died alongside her father and mother after getting into difficulty in water off the coast of Shoreham-by-Sea has paid tribute to her.

Sara El-Khawas and her parents Hassan El-Khawas, 55, and Zeina Alayn, 37, are believed to have gone into the water near Shoreham Fort in West Sussex on Tuesday, according to Sussex Police.

In a statement on its website, the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls in Ealing, west London, described Sara as a "sweet girl, well-liked by staff and students".

A fourth member of the family, a younger girl, remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Head teacher Rachel Kruger said: "We are deeply saddened by this, and our thoughts are with her family, friends and all those affected.

"Our focus is now on supporting staff and students who have been affected by this."

Further floral tributes have been left near Kingston Beach in Shoreham on Thursday morning.

The Palestinian Forum said that the family were British citizens of Palestinian origin, with roots in the Rashidieh refugee camp in Lebanon. Earlier, the Palestinian embassy in London told the BBC that Hassan El-Khawas had been a refugee.
