Children at a Nottingham primary school will be expected in for the new term after the headteacher said they would be staying open.
After carrying out risk assessments and consulting with the city council and public health experts, Westglade Primary School will be fully open for all pupils on January 4.
The Top Valley school said it was told in these discussions that Nottingham's Covid rate is "relatively low" compared to London where school closures have been brought in.
Parents have been urged to wrap their children in more layers as the school will keep windows open to keep classrooms ventilated.
The school said the situation regarding opening is "under constant review".
In a letter to parents, headteacher Jo Keely said: "The current situation in Nottingham relating to transmission is a level of 251 per 100,000 for the whole population which remains below the England average.
"By comparison the current rate for Greater London is 859 per 100,000 for the whole population.
"It has been a very cold period and in order to keep classrooms safe we will need to ventilate rooms.
"We encourage parents to put their children in layers and we have ensured our heating is as high as possible."
In contrast, a Nottinghamshire school will only reopen to some children this week due to increasing concerns over the spread of Covid-19.
Farmilo Primary School and Nursery in Mansfield will only partially re-open the school to key worker and vulnerable children from January 4.
The school said it feels that the risk is too high at the moment to fully reopen and has a duty of care to everyone in the community.
It fears it cannot guarantee the safety of the staff, children and the whole school community if it reopens to everyone.
The government is facing increasing pressure from unions for all schools to shut their doors and resort to online teaching as they did at the start of the first lockdown.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said parents should send their children to primary schools that are open in England on Monday.
Mr Johnson told BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday January 3: “Yes, absolutely they should in areas where schools are open.
“We have really fought very hard throughout this pandemic across the country to keep schools open for lots of reasons.
“Schools are safe. It is very, very important to stress that.
“The risk to kids, to young people is really very, very small indeed.
“The risk to staff is very small."
