There is a confirmed outbreak of norovirus at Dearham Primary School.
Public Health England are investigating the outbreak.
We have spoken to the school about this sickness outbreak and can confirm that all suitable measures to stop the spread of infection have been implemented by the school. Diarrhoea and vomiting illnesses can easily spread from one person to another, particularly in places like schools where people are in close contact with each other for much of the day. Anyone who becomes ill should stay away from school until they have been free from symptoms for a full 48 hours."
