"As soon as he went back to school he had a spring in his step."
Those are the words of single mother Michelle Sheridan, who immediately noticed her nine-year-old son's mood lift when returning to school part-time in January due to her being a key worker.
Mrs Sheridan, who is manager of the Marks and Spencer Foodhall on Longwater Retail Park and lives off Bowthorpe Road in Norwich, initially juggled homeschooling during the 2020 lockdowns with Cameron's father but admitted her son needed more interaction.
