AN 11-year-old pupil at Middlewich High School is recovering in hospital after he fell and injured his head while playing in the playground.

 

An ambulance and the North West Air Ambulance were called after the accident at 10.55am today (June 23).

 

Headteacher Keith Simpson said: “A paramedic called the air ambulance as a precaution but fortunately the pupil’s injury was not as serious as initially feared.

 

“The ambulance took him to Leighton Hospital by road, accompanied by his mother. He was conscious and talking and we expect he will make a full recovery.”
