King's Lynn secondary school deals with 'incident'

King Edward VII Academy in Lynn has taken action against "a number of pupils" this week, excluding them from lessons, principal Lloyd Brown said today.

Mr Brown dismissed the issues as a minor affair but said that there had been "an incident that we had to deal with".

He denied there had been any sort of fight or confrontation and declined to say how many children had been excluded (removed from schoolor a set period of time) but added: "We had some children who were rather silly, running around and so on. Some children have been excluded and some isolated."

He said the incident would not spoil what was proving a very good end to the term.
