The government plans to reopen a number of schools from the beginning of next month and this is what their classrooms could look like after the coronavirus lockdown.
Some of the schools that have stayed open in the UK for the children of key workers give an indication of what might await pupils when they return.
At Kempsey Primary School in Worcestershire, about 30 children have been attending classes.
They have a traffic light system for washing their hands and follow arrows on the floor to create a one-way system.
The tables have been marked with tape to show pupils where they can sit during classes and lunchtime.
A number of countries across Europe have already reopened their schools while introducing social distancing measures for teachers and pupils.
Under the easing of England’s lockdown, primary school class sizes should be limited to 15 pupils, desks should be spaced as far apart as possible and outdoor space should be utilised, the government says.
