SCHOOLS in Scotland won’t reopen until August and students will only be in classrooms part-time.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced today Scotland’s roadmap to relax lockdown measures, stressing it would be done slowly and cautiously.

Ms Sturgeon said schools won’t reopen until August

Teachers and other school staff will begin returning to classrooms in June, without students, so they are prepared to get kids learning on a part-time basis.

Ms Sturgeon said today: “Teachers and other staff will return during June to prepare classrooms.

“On 11 August, all schools will reopen.

“Children will return to a blended model with part in school and part time at home.

“These arrangements will not represent a complete return to normality but we judge them to be most sensible (changes to lockdown).”

Ms Sturgeon set out a four phase approach to easing lockdown restrictions after Scotland refused to follow the PM’s plan to relax measures.

The first phase will give people in Scotland more freedom to relax in parks and sunbathe, as well as visit outdoor shops such as garden centres.

Nicola Sturgeon’s roadmap for exiting lockdown

  • More time allowed outdoors – including for sunbathing and picnics
  • People from different households will be able to see one another but only in small, socially distanced groups.
  • Outdoor shops such as garden centres will be allowed to reopen
  • Resumption of NHS services paused to clear beds for COVID-19 patients
  • Outdoor businesses such as agriculture, forestry and construction encouraged to return to safe working
