Swine flu is suspected at school

Three suspected cases of swine flu are being investigated at another Worcestershire school.

The girls showing symptoms were being kept in isolation at Malvern St James.

The school stayed open for lessons, but weekend open days and a big band concert were cancelled. Boarders are being kept in.

Malvern College in Worcestershire will be closed this week after six cases of the virus were confirmed. Its preparatory school has also closed.

A case has also been confirmed at Nunnery Wood High School in Worcester.

There have been more than 1,000 confirmed cases in the UK, health authorities have confirmed.
