In his online assembly message, he said: "The overall message is that you are doing a great job." He said there had been positive feedback from teachers about engagement with remote learning.

And he welcomed the fact that 98 per cent of pupils were registering before 9.30am n a daily basis, noting this is a legal requirement for schools.

Urging people not to stress if they were struggling with anything, he said: "Just be the best that you can be."
