Malvern College's preparatory school, The Downs, has also shut but that closure is being reviewed daily, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) said.
It said there are 17 confirmed cases in Herefordshire and Worcestershire and a "small number" of suspected cases.
Dr David Kirrage, from the HPA, said the decision to close is not something it does "lightly".
He added: "Certainly the decision to close the school is jointly done by ourselves and the teaching staff."
