However, attendance at this time was not compulsory.

Teachers have been working throughout the summer to create a new normal for pupils who return today . Staff returned to school last Tuesday to help in readiness for the return of learners to the classroom.

Each school has its own arrangements in place, with most implementing a phased return until September 14 when attendance becomes a statutory requirement.

All learners back in school by this time.
