RUMOURS of a measles epidemic in Burnham and Highbridge's schools have proved to be unfounded.
The Weekly News was given a tip off yesterday (Tuesday) and spoke to teachers who denied there was any mass outbreak of the illness.
Burnham Infant School spokesman Gail Popham said she was not aware of any kind of problem.
"We have only got one case that we know of - it's not really an epidemic," she said.
