School provisional reopening dates as listed by Scots councils

The provisional dates for the reopening of Scots schools have been listed on council websites as pupils prepare for their first day back in months.

Educational facilities across the country were ordered by the Scottish Government to close from March 20 in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

All schools have continued to remain shut as the virus still poses too much of a risk for Scots old and young.

But the Scottish Government revealed that it hopes for facilities to open once again from August 11.

Pupils and students will have had a lengthy break from the classroom for almost five months by the time that date comes along.

Each local authority across Scotland has listed on a provisional start date for the 2020-21 school term.

The dates published are only be to be taken as guidance at the moment as there is still the risk of a second wave of Covid-19.

Some are hoping to have their doors open for the August 11 date set by the Government, while others could reopen as late as August 20.

All of the dates listed by local authorities are subject to change.
