The memory of a teenager who was killed in a quad bike crash while on holiday abroad will live on at his former school, as they revealed a special sporting award in his name.

The James Fifield Award will be presented each year to the student from Bourne End Academy, formerly Wye Valley School, who has contributing the most to school sport.

A keen footballer, the 18-year-old had planned to work in America this year coaching children, however, his life was tragically cut short when a car crashed into his quad bike in Zante, Greece.

The first recipient of the award was announced at the school’s Sporting Evening of Excellence last week as Ashton Goode.

He was given the prize by James’ mother, Claire Fifield-Moore.

She said: “They first mentioned the idea to me a couple of months ago and then sent me a picture of the plaque – it’s all just so superb.

“I went along on the evening, and I didn’t know at the time I would be presenting the award. It was very emotional hearing everyone speak about their memories of him, but I was glad this was a nice way to mark his life.

“The way the school is recognising his time there is absolutely phenomenal and we all appreciate it.

“They plan to give out the award to a student every year for the next ten years – we’ve just been blown away with all of this.”

She added: “We have always said how proud we are of James and last week [during the ceremony] we were bursting with pride.”

Following the death of the Marlow teenager in July 2014, teachers and students left tributes at the entrance of the school and even started a book of remembrance in his honour.

Last September friends also organised a memorial football tournament, with hundreds of people attending.
