Sickness bug strikes

This was the almost deserted lunch hall at school today.
After a very virulent sickness bug hit the school we were left with 49 children instead of our usual 126.
We also had 6 members of staff who succumbed.
If your child has had, or gets, the sickness bug please remember we ask you to keep your child home for 48 hours after they have been sick. This is to try to stop the spread of the bug.
Thanks for your help in this.
