In Scotland, younger primary pupils have gone back to school, along with some exam-year students in secondary school. A wider reopening has yet to be decided.

In Wales, younger primary years have also returned – with older primary pupils set to go back on 15 March if Covid levels continue to fall.

In Northern Ireland, younger primary pupils will return to classrooms on 8 March.
