Williamson: Schools will be open to everyone in September

Gavin Williamson says in March, the government "did something different from virtually every other nation" by keeping schools open for critical workers and the most vulnerable.

He says they did it as they "recognised the important role schools play in keeping those children safe".

The education secretary says they "want as many children back in school as possible", and for those who have returned, they are "enjoying being back in the classroom and being back with friends and classmates".

He says school is "vital", and as a result, "all children, in all year groups, will go back to school in September".
