A pupil of St Lambertus School in Heverlee, Belgium, Sebastian Bowles, aged 11, was from the UK. Parents Edward, who is a British citizen and Ann, who is Belgian, were in Switzerland on Thursday night to identify his body.
The family had moved from Crouch End, north London to Belgium 2 years ago to be closer to family.
A spokesman from St Lambertus school requested that the press left the parents to grieve in private.
The road accident took place when a coach full of school children headed home to Belgium after a skiing trip in the Swiss Alps – the vehicle collided at high speed with a wall in a motorway tunnel.
A national day of mourning takes place in Belgium today with a minutes silence taking place at 10am, British time (GMT).
