TWO pupils at a St Albans secondary school are suspected of becoming the latest swine flu victims.

Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School posted a message on its website this morning warning parents of two unconfirmed cases of the virus among its pupils.

It read: "The school has received notification of two unconfirmed cases of swine flu amongst our school population this morning.

"We have taken medical advice from the County Health Authority and Education Department which makes it clear that, as a school we should remain open at this stage.

"At this moment in time we intend to run the activities week trips as normal. If your child presents any flu like symptoms, please keep them at home, seek medical advice and inform the school as soon as possible."

A pupil at St George's School in Harpenden also tested positive for the H1N1 virus, it was revealed today. A St Columba's College pupil was confirmed as having the bug last week.
