TWO Bradford schools have closed their doors early ahead of the Christmas break because of the winter vomiting bug norovirus.
Hanson School closed its doors yesterday and will re-open on Monday, January 6.
The school said this was due to an "exceptionally high number of students and staff suffering from sickness and other flu-like symptoms".
"This will enable a deep clean to take place throughout school."
Both Chellow Heights Special School sites are also closed today due to an increase in sickness.
It will also re-open as normal on January 6.
A number of Bradford schools have had to close in recent weeks because of the bug.
