There has been a sharp rise in pupils sent home from school in England because of Covid, according to the latest official figures.
They showed that more than 375,000 pupils – about one in 20 – were out of school for Covid-related reasons, up by more than 130,000 in a week.
Absences have quadrupled during June.
The government has signalled a shift to more Covid testing for schools in September – rather than having to send home whole "bubbles" of pupils.
