A number of schools across the North East have been affected due to coronavirus after reopening this month.
Several sites in and around Sunderland initially decided to close after they were made aware of cases of Covid-19 and carried out a deep clean. They later reopened partially.
Meanwhile, positive Covid cases have also been confirmed in schools or colleges in Newcastle, Gateshead, County Durham, North Tyneside and Northumberland.
In some cases, schools have asked pupils in particular year groups or bubbles to self-isolate.
The schools affected say they have been working with Public Health England and are following Government guidelines.
Here, we have put together a list of schools where positive cases and self-isolations have been confirmed between the start of term and now. Some may have now finished isolating and returned to their classes:
