Walsall school closes due to sickness bug
Pupils and staff were told to stay at home for two days after a sickness bug broke out at a Walsall secondary school.
The West Walsall E-ACT Academy, in Primley Avenue, was closed on Tuesday morning and shut again yesterday.
It has 622 pupils on its roll and is run by E-ACT, which operates 24 free schools or academies across the country.
They include the Willenhall E-ACT Academy and Reedswood E-ACT Primary Academy in Bentley Drive, Walsall.
An E-ACT spokesman said the academy had informed parents of the closure.
"West Walsall E-ACT Academy has been closed temporarily due to a sickness bug. Parents and pupils have been informed through text message, letter and email," the spokesman said.
The academy said it would re-open to staff and pupils today.
