Young children could start returning to nurseries in England from June 1, with the Government aiming for all primary school pupils to go back for a month before summer.
The Government expects pre-school children to be able to return to early years settings, and for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils to be back in school in "smaller sizes", from the start of next month.
It aims to ensure that the youngest children, and those preparing for secondary school, have "maximum time with their teachers".
The Government's Covid-19 recovery strategy said that the ambition is for all primary school children to return to school before the summer holidays for a month "if feasible" - but this will be kept under review.
