Another pupil has been pulled from the same secondary school where a first pupils age is being investigated amid claims he is as old as 30.

The first pupil, in Year 11 at Stoke High School in Ipswich, is said to be an asylum seeker who joined at the start of the last term, pretending to 15.

Now a second pupil, in Year 7, has also been removed from classes.
