North-east school engagement and attendance remains high, education chiefs have said, despite Covid-19 challenges.
Between 1,900 and 2,200 primary and secondary pupils have been going to school each day – around 5-6% of the pupil population – since buildings reopened on January 11 for the children of keyworkers.
Of those, between 1,500 and 1,800 are primary school-aged, while between 220 and 330 are secondary aged, and 65 and 72 are in special schools.
Young people don’t necessarily attend every day – with their attendance working round the shifts of key worker parents, and the vast majority of pupils are still using remote learning.
