One in four children in Hull are absent from school due to a rapid rise in coronavirus cases, official figures show, as headteachers in the city have warned of a “major threat” to public services unless schools are allowed to partially close.
Figures seen by the Guardian show that 27.6% of pupils were not in school on Monday – compared with about one in 10 across England – equating to about 12,000 children at home.
The data, which has been submitted by school leaders to the Department for Education, shows that just over half of the city’s 97 schools were partially closed on Monday.
