York school cancels assemblies and creates remote learning for students

One York school has updated its parents and students on its response to the coronavirus today.

Huntington School has cancelled all assemblies until further notice and more school events – see below.

It has also prepared virtual learning packs for exam students in Years 11 and 13.

This allows students who are self-isolating to access work, should they wish to.

The school says similar virtual learning materials will be available for Years 7-10 and 12 later in the week.

And form tutors are delivering daily messages to their tutees on the coronavirus and providing lots of reassurance.
