Early learning settings have now reopened and P1-P3 pupils have returned to school on a full-time basis.
At present, pupils in S4-S6 can also go into school on a part-time basis if they have practical work for their national qualifications.
As a result of the First Minister's announcement on Tuesday 2nd March 2021, P4 to P7 pupils will return to school full-time from 15 March. All secondary pupils are likely to return on a part-time basis between 15 March and the end of term break with a full return being planned for all pupils after the Easter holiday.
The above plans are conditional on continued progress on suppressing coronavirus (COVID-19).
