A SCHOOL closed by a plague of mice is to reopen fully on Monday.
More than 150 pupils were sent home when a nursery and two reception classes were closed at Linthorpe Infant School, Middlesbrough, earlier this week.
The rest of the 291-pupil school remained open, with Middlesbrough Council blaming the cause of the vermin problem on a nearby vacant property.
Mice started getting into the school in January.
A spokesman for Middlesbrough Council said: "Our pest control technicians have done an extensive baiting procedure in the affected areas. .
"We are confident that this should have cleared the immediate problem, but of course, we will continue to monitor the situation at the school."
