Schools across Grantham have been pulling out all the stops this week to give their pupils a warm welcome back to the classroom.
From Monday, all pupils were able to head back to the classroom after months of remote learning under the first step to ease Covid-19 restrictions.
The Department for Education is advising secondary school pupils to wear face coverings and they are being asked to take voluntary Covid-19 tests on site and at home, whereas primary school children have not been asked to take tests or wear masks.
