Almost three quarters of pupils at an Angus primary school are off on sickness or precautionary grounds today following an outbreak of the winter vomiting bug.
The 428-pupil school has remained open despite this week’s sickness outbreak but it seems families may be playing it safe even if their children are not showing symptoms.
Angus Council confirmed 329 pupils are off from primaries one through seven today, and 118 are currently in school.
It is understood not all of the children will be sick, as some parents have elected to remove their children to avoid catching norovirus.
