The principal of the New Winthorpes Primary School is denying that students took ill at the institution recently.<\/p>

Parents of students attending the New Winthorpes Primary School brought the alleged incident to our attention yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reached out to the Director of Education today and the Ministry’s Public Relations Officer promised to provide a response once one becomes avaibale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
