Mrs Williams told PA: “We are devastated by Sabina’s tragic death.

“She was a brilliant teacher; she was kind, caring and absolutely dedicated to her pupils.

“She had so much life ahead of her and so much more to give and her loss is desperately sad.

“As a school we are supporting each other through this very difficult time, and we will be providing specialist support to those who need it.”

The police described it as a “shocking incident” and have reacted with increased patrols in the area, and across Greenwich and Lewisham.

DCI Joe Garrity said: “Did you see someone loitering or acting suspiciously? Or, did you see someone leaving the area in a hurry, perhaps running away? If you have any information, it is vital you tell us.”

He urged witnesses to come forward as the area is commonly used by dog walkers and joggers.

Anyone with information or any witnesses can call police on 101, reference 5747/18
