Nine primary school children in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire are taken to hospital after eating seeds from trees on school grounds. Reports say the incident happens at Jesse Gray Primary School shortly before 2pm on Wednesday. The school head teacher contacts emergency services, and multiple responders attend, including paramedics and police vehicles. Coverage also mentions attendance by a specialist or hazardous area response team.
The children—described as pupils in Year 6 by some outlets—are hospitalised as a precaution after eating the seeds. BBC News reports that the children are taken to hospital after the council is involved and that the action is precautionary. Other outlets similarly state that all nine children are sent to hospital following the incident, with their medical treatment framed as preventative rather than in response to a confirmed serious condition.
No sources provided specific details on the type of seeds, the children’s symptoms, or the outcome at the time of reporting.
