Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said:
“It’s fantastic to see attendance in schools the highest it has been at any point during the pandemic – it’s clear the protective measures in schools, as well as testing for staff, families and secondary pupils, are making a difference.
“The hard work of staff is helping keep children in and the virus out of classrooms, and I’m incredibly grateful to all staff, parents and pupils for the tremendous efforts they’re making every day.”

From the beginning of the autumn term schools were asked to welcome back all pupils to school full-time. From 5 January 2021, schools were asked to provide on-site education for vulnerable children and children of critical workers only.
