Ceiling collapses at private school in London

A dozen children were taken to hospital on Monday after a ceiling collapsed at a British school.

The ceiling of a classroom at Rosemead Preparatory School, a private school in Dulwich, South London, collapsed just before 9.30am, officials said.

Health officials said 16 people were treated at the scene with 12 children and one adult taken to hospital for further checks.

The chair of governors at the school reportedly said no-one received life-threatening or life-changing injuries.
