A trip to China by pupils at Woodlands School in Takely End, Basildon, has been cancelled because of the deadly Sars outbreak.

Instead the children are set to travel to New Zealand, with a night in Los Angeles in the United States.

Twelve year 10 pupils aged 14 and 15 and two teachers will be taking part in the trip to the North Island.
