They are set to re-open on March 8 as part of the plans to lift the coronavirus lockdown.
We know you have missed them so here is a reminder of teachers across Hartlepool and East Durham and the role they have played in our lives over the years.
From Sacred Heart to Seaton Carew, we have put the spotlight on teachers doing what they do best and that is going out of their way to help others.
Take a look and see if our photo collection brings back great memories.
