Swine flu alert at school
by Sarah Marshall
Two pupils at Ashford School are
waiting for test results to find out whether they have got swine
flu.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed a
pupil at the school had tested positive for swine flu. The
youngster was isolated as soon as the case was suspected and is now
well.
It is not known which part of the
school, which has sites in East Hill, Ashford, and in Great Chart,
is affected.
A statement by head teacher Mike
Buchanan (pictured)
on the school's website says: "Having specifically requested
information as to whether the school should close, we have been
told that this is not necessary, but any pupils or staff showing
symptoms should stay at home."
