The headteacher of a Lichfield primary school has praised pupils for their “adaptability” during the coronavirus crisis.

The school year came to an end following months of disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gemma Grainger, headteacher of Chadsmead Primary Academy, said the efforts of pupils to ensure learning could continue even when traditional classes were cancelled should not be overlooked.
