Join the Tes news team as we look back over the first week of schools being fully open again.

We look at the government’s U-turn over a rule that meant students had to self-isolate if they had a positive test at home - even if a subsequent, more accurate type of test proved negative.

And we discuss how a different set of rules for Covid tests in schools could result in around 250,000 students having to self-isolate unnecessarily - as well as the “strange” lack of positive results in students’ tests.

We also talk about how heads have questioned the effectiveness of masks in schools and how teachers are struggling to hear students wearing masks.

We look at education secretary Gavin Williamson’s speech to headteachers at this year’s Association of School and College Leaders’ (ASCL) conference in which he said that we’re “absolutely” keeping GCSEs, and that the Covid catch-up funding ”only scratches the surface”. And we ask; how did he come across?

We look at our exclusive report into academy boss pay and how seven academy leaders are now paid more than £250,000. And another of our exclusives reveals that Ofsted chief regulator Amanda Spielman wants more time in the job.

And finally...how a teaching assistant kept her promise to crochet 70 Shrek-style beanie hats for her pupils at her Middlesbrough primary school.
