Education bosses say the ongoing COVID testing programme in Secondary Schools is helping.
North Yorkshire County Council say that attendance in schools is now almost at levels seen before the pandemic, with average attendance at 93 per cent across all schools in the county.
Amanda Newbold is the county's Assistant Director for Education and says the continuing COVID testing programme for pupils in secondary schools is helping to keep classrooms open and bolster confidence.
Amanda says that of the 1,100 educational settings in North Yorkshire, including schools, academies, colleges and early years providers, there are just 32 pupils or staff who have tested positive for coronavirus in the last 28 days.
Amanda added:
"The fact that the overwhelming majority of pupils in North Yorkshire are now back in school is great news for children and young people, not just for their education and learning, but also their wellbeing and emotional development."
