Update on physical distancing at city schools

17 July 2020

The Scottish Government yesterday (Thursday 16 July) published a report outlining scientific information that physical distancing at schools may not be required when the new term commences. We welcome the publication of this information and will be reviewing the content to further support our planning.

We would emphasise, however, that the Scottish Government is currently considering the advice in the report and we anticipate updated physical distancing guidance based on these recommendations will be announced by the end of July..
