The government went ahead this week with its further re-opening of schools, with many primary schools opening their doors on Monday (June 1) to pupils from Reception, year 1 and year 6.
The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) estimates that pupil attendance was anywhere from 40 to 70 per cent of eligible children.
Not all schools re-opened, with some choosing to wait until next week or re-opening to staff only for safety training and preparation work.
Speaking to Headteacher Update this week, school leaders said that social bubble systems had been at the heart of their approach. Warnings have also been raised that rota systems will be essential if schools are to open to more pupils.
