Secondary school pupils in England will no longer be required to wear face masks in class from next week, the Government has confirmed.

The decision to remove the requirement in secondary schools and colleges came as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that more indoor mixing will be allowed to take place from May 17.

MPs and parents have raised concerns about face coverings in class disrupting pupils' learning and wellbeing since they were introduced in March.
