SINCE the return of pupils to schools across England on Monday, Basingstoke school communities have been hard at work settling their students back in.
From regular testing, to new health and safety measures, school staff have been working tirelessly to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
Since then, other schools in the area have reached out to share their stories of the first week back, and how they've welcomed pupils on their return.
The Costello School on Crossborough Hill celebrated the return of all students with banners, balloons and music, and all staff were out to welcome the students in from 8am on Monday.
