School closed due to Winter flu bug outbreak
OAKWORTH Primary School is closed today after its pupils fell prey to a Winter flu bug.
The Keighley school is undergoing a deep-clean after the outbreak caused "high levels of illness", Bradford Council says.
The decision to shut the school was taken on Friday.
It follows a number of school closures last week which saw a total of five schools in the district close due to illness.

The advice for anyone affected with an illness like Norovirus is to keep them isolated, avoid A&E or GPs as this may spread the virus, drink regularly and take age-appropriate paracetamol.
