The slow return to school began this week as many Jewish primaries welcomed back several year groups with new social distancing and hygiene measures in force.

While some schools have been catering for a small number of children of key workers, the government encouraged them to start readmitting children in nursery, reception and years one and six from Monday.

Sinai in Kenton said 56 per cent of eligible children returned for lessons this week, while the Jewish Community Academy Trust, which is responsible for five London primaries, reported that around two-thirds had attended.

Nadine Arbiter said her daughter Chloe, a year one student at Sinai, had enjoyed a “wonderful” first day back.
