Ellen Sapsford shared that she was feeling "relieved" about her son, Noah, returning to school.

"This summer holiday seemed to go on forever, what with the children being off of school over the lockdown," Ms Sapsford said.

"But I am happy for him to now be able to go to school and back to normality.

"He really wanted to go back to school as well to see his new teacher, new classroom and school friends."
