Britain's schoolchildren could be back to school part-time before the summer holidays, according to reports. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson is planning a potential phased return to school for all pupils following the coronavirus lockdown.
But some reports claim the year groups with the most pressing educational milestones like exams could be prioritised. The Sun reports youngsters about to make the move from primary school to secondary school, and pupils doing GCSEs or A Levels could get priority.
The UK could also see staggered return dates, with ministers' plans said to include strategies including allowing primary school children back first, followed by secondary pupils later.
