Schools to re-open in August

Aberdeenshire’s schools are set to open full-time for all pupils from Wednesday 12 August in line with an announcement today by the Scottish Government.

Monday 10 August and Tuesday 11 August will be in-service days to allow for additional preparation for staff. The in-service day previously arranged for Thursday 19 November has been cancelled.

The five days holiday missed by bringing this year’s school term forward will be taken next June, with effect from Monday 28 June, 2021. This makes for a seven-week summer break next year.

Detailed information will be shared directly with parents and carers once the new national guidance on preparing for the new term has been published. Meanwhile for more information visit https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/schools/schools-covid-19/#reopen
