A HEADTEACHER was among the victims in a new outbreak of swine flu which struck down a quarter of her school’s pupils.
An outbreak of the virus at Beechcroft St Paul’s Primary School in Weymouth saw pupils ‘dropping every 10 minutes’ with sickness, nausea and headaches.
Around 55 children out of the school’s roll-call of 207 caught the flu, as did headteacher Sarah Sprague.
Now pupils are on the road to recovery, although experts warn that a second wave of swine flu is expected nationally over the coming months.
