Devizes School pupil has swine flu
9:43pm Wednesday 1st July 2009
A pupil at Devizes School is off sick with swine flue but the school remains open.
It was revealed today that a pupil at the school, who is connected with someone from Bath Priory School where an earlier case of the disease was diagnosed, has been confirmed as suffering from the virus.
But head teacher Malcolm Irons said it was not necessary to close the schoool.
He said a letter had been sent home to all pupils but the student suffering from the illness was only thought to have a mild case of the infection.

If you don' want you kids to go to school and the school hasn't closed then keep them home, it really isn't complicated.
This will leave the sensible ones to let their kids go to school with less hassle than usual.
