BREAKING NEWS: Swine flu at second school in Aylesbury
Bucks County Council have this afternoon confirmed a second school in Aylesbury has been hit by swine flu.
A pupil at Thomas Hickman School is said to have the H1N1 virus but the school will stay open.
A spokesman at BCC said: "The Health Protection Agency has advised that there is no need to close the school at this stage. A letter will go to all parents this afternoon.
"Anti-viral medication will be made available to pupils and staff in the same year group."
One parent at the school spoke to The Bucks Herald this afternoon: "They say there's no risk and it's only one student, but it's here, it's arrived in Aylesbury.
"I'm going to talk to my wife later, but with only two and a half weeks before the summer break I think we might take them out early.
"I don't want it being transferred to my kids, not with something like this anyway."
Earlier today it was reported that the Pebble Brook School in Aylesbury has been closed until at least July 3 because two people have the virus.
