Read MoreA Lincolnshire Primary School says its small capacity and class sizes have meant that it's been able to open to students from all of its year groups.
The government has announced plans for all pupils to be back in school from September onwards, as part of recent easing of restrictions around the coronavirus.
But Coleby Primary School, between Sleaford and Lincoln, has capacity for only around 100 students.
Because class sizes are so small already, they've been able to make sure there's room for any parent who wants their child to go to school.
Head teacher Karen Espin said: "We've been able to find out different ways using the outdoors a lot more, using undercover areas, and this week we've doubled our numbers by inviting back everyone who wants to come.
Parent Ewen Stockbridge praised the school after seeing the "pure joy" on the faces of his three children when they returned to school for the first time.
Quote MessageThe one recurring comment from our kids had been that they'd missed their friends. The measures Karen and Coleby school have taken has enabled our kids to go back into this environment, within the rigour of maintaining distances, they've still been able to be kids, and I think that's the most important thing we can ever give our children.

Read MoreA photographer has described the moments after a plane crash landed at an airfield in Lincolnshire.
Nick Barwis, who was walking near North Coates Flying Club yesterday evening when the crash happened, said he heard the aircraft circling overhead before it attempted to land in a strong crosswind.
When it touched down, the plane "bounced to the right and into a ditch" which runs parallel to the landing strip, Mr Barwis said.
The "wing scraped along a footpath" near the ditch, he said.
"Luckily no-one was walking on it. They'd have had a shock if they had been," he added.
Quote MessageWe've been here 10 years and I've seen nothing like that before."

Officials are investigating the cause of the incident with the plane, which had flown from Full Sutton in East Yorkshire.
The plane's passengers were left with minor injuries and the pilot - who had been taken to the hospital - has since been discharged.
The owner of an amusement arcade on the Lincolnshire coast says they'll do "as much as possible" to make it safe to use penny pushers.
The government's easing of coronavirus restrictions yesterday means that amusement arcades, like the Mirage in Mablethorpe (pictured), can open from 4 July.
But that means a lot of work to make sure they follow guidance on how to make it as virus free as possible.
Russell Bolesworth, who owns the Mirage, says staff will be wearing protective masks and will clean penny pusher machines as soon as people have finished using them.
He says teams, who've been furloughed since March, are "raring to get back to work".
Quote MessageIf a family is on pusher, and they're taking up some positions, when they leave we'll be going down and spraying down and cleaning those positions. It's not a sterile environment all you can do is reduce the risk as much as possible, and that's what we'll be endeavouring to do.

The coronavirus pandemic has reminded people that "we need farmers", the head of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society has said.
Jane Hiles says Covid-19 has been a "wake-up call" for people about the importance of the nation's farmers.
Ms Hiles says it's "gratifying" farm workers and food producers were categorised as key workers by the government at the start of the lockdown.
Quote MessageIt was a real wake-up call at the beginning of this crisis when we went into supermarkets and saw empty shelves. I don't think for many of them they'd realised that could ever happen in their lifetime."

Businesses on the Lincolnshire coast are looking to make the most of the remainder of the summer season as coronavirus restrictions are eased.
Pubs and restaurants in England are to be allowed to reopen from 4 July, following yesterday's announcement by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
People will also be able to stay overnight at hotels, campsites and in self catering accommodation.
Quote MessageThe reality is we are opening potentially with a bit of a season left. Obviously dependent on the weather, and dependent on people's confidence to come and visit us, I think many businesses should be able to take advantage of the season that's before us."

Ground handling giant Swissport is set to cut thousands of jobs - possibly including some at airports in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire - because of the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on air travel.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport, Leeds Bradford Airport and Humberside Airport in North Lincolnshire all use Swissport for their cargo and ground handling, according to the firm's website.
The company told staff earlier that more than 4,500 jobs could be axed - which is more than half its UK workforce.
The move comes after air travel use dropped because of the coronavirus pandemic, lowering Swissport's expected revenue.
Unions said the announcement was "devastating" news, especially for regional economies, and highlighted their call for the government to offer help to the aviation industry.
For the first time in its history, the Lincolnshire Show isn't taking place at it usual location but is instead being held "virtually".
For 135 years, the centre ring (pictured) at Lincolnshire Showground has played host to displays including horse jumping, parachuting and tractor derbies.
But because of coronavirus restrictions the show's been unable to go ahead as planned this year.
Organisers say the show has only been cancelled a few times in its history.
This time they've arranged events online, including video cooking demonstrations from Lincolnshire producers.
