Edinburgh school holidays 2020: What the school year looks like from now until December

The school year has been disrupted in an unprecedented way, with exams cancelled and kids likely not to be able to return to schools in Edinburgh until August.

The latest advice from the Scottish Government is that school may return in August after the summer break, however the timetable will still look very different to how it used to.

Pupils will likely take part in a form of blended learning, with some learning taking place at home to help maintain social distance in school.

But what is the school term predicted to look like for the rest of the term?

Remember, this may be subject to change.
