First glance at what Scots schools could look like when they re-open after lockdown

A Scottish school has given parents and kids an insight into what they might expect to see when they return to education in August.

Education Secretary John Swinney has given the green light for all schools to return on a full-time basis as long as Scotland continues to successfully control its coronavirus outbreak.

Although schools have been given the go-ahead to open back up without social distancing measures, one Scots school has taken matters into their own hands.

A photograph has emerged from a school in Scotland which shows how they plan to manage kids when they return reports the Daily Record.

Dalziel High School in Motherwell has adapted its playground to include yellow footprints which show where pupils should stand to maintain social distancing measures.

The Scottish Government's Education Recovery Group (ERG) has been regularly meeting up during lockdown to develop a solid plan for what schools should look like when they reopen in August.

Dalziel High School is operated by North Lanarkshire Council who said:" We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to."

Edinburgh Live has reached out to Edinburgh City Council to ask about any plans they have in place for pupils returning.
