Some pupils have started their return to schools in Wales for the first time since March.

It is hoped that all pupils will be able to “check in, catch up and prepare” over the next three to four weeks ahead of the term in September.

With strict social distancing measures and limited numbers allowed in at a time, classrooms will look very different.

One headteacher in the principality said that teachers were “excited but had a degree of anxiety and apprehension” as the pupils return.

Schools have been open throughout the lockdown, but only for pupils who are classed as vulnerable and for children of key workers.

Parents who choose not to send their children to school will not be fined and pupils who fall into the shielding category will carry on with their home learning.

Not all schools will reopen to all pupils as planned, with schools on Anglesey remain closed for now after a coronavirus outbreak at a meat processing factory and a local school shut after water supply issues.
