A teenage girl found hanged in toilets at her school had suffered "racist" bullying about being Polish, an inquest has heard.

Dagmara Przybysz, 16, an aspiring photographer who was looking forward to her year 11 prom and shopping for a dress with her mother, died at Pool Academy on May 17, 2016.

Today the inquest into her death heard she had been having trouble with some girls at her school and had previously told her parents and her boyfriend that she had overheard classmates making racist comments.

In a statement, Dagmara's mother, Ewelina, said her daughter, who was a "very beautiful lady", got on better with boys, and most of her friends, including her boyfriend, went to another school.
