“They [the pupils] were all scared but my daughter has been absolutely fantastic I’m very proud of her,” he said.

Daniel said his daughter video-called him and he could see her teacher “supporting the whole class”.

“The teacher sat right by the door. He barricaded the door, put some boxes there, and kept everyone cool even though he must have been scared himself,” he added.
