The reopening of schools has once again dominated the news.
The week began with the monthly quizzing of ministers by MPs – topics ranged from exams, to school meals, to remote education.
Education remains at the forefront to the national news, be it calls for teacher vaccinations or the storm around food parcels to those on free school meals.
On Monday the Prime Minister delivered a national address which introduced a third lockdown, closing schools across England (to all but key worker and vulnerable children) and cancelling A levels and GCSEs in the summer.
