There's no specific mention of standardised term dates in the full document. It states that they expect schools to open on August 11th, but also has lots of caveats and makes clear there will be differering plans for different kids.
Phase 3 is the mention of August 11th - We are planning for children to return to school under a blended model of part-time in-school teaching andpart-time in-home learning. Public health measures including physical distancing will be in place. Subject to the evidence and progress of the epidemic we expect schools to open on August 11.
However, the overall summary only mentions August - In taking decisions about the recovery of education, we have worked closely with local government, teacher unions and the national parents’ organisation. The COVID-19 Education Recovery Group, chaired by the Deputy First Minister, has led this work and has considered all practical options that will allow us to strike the right balance between safety, healthcare, wellbeing and learning as schools begin to reopen.
A Strategic Framework has been jointly agreed and is to be used at local level in conjunction with Local Phasing Delivery Plans for the reopening of schools and early learning and childcare provision in Scotland. It highlights that we are working to enable as many children and young people as possible to return to education and care settings at the earliest date on which it is safe to do so. This can only be undertaken with careful planning and clear communication to pupils, parents, carers and staff to build confidence and assurance that the health and scientific advice justifies such a position.
We aim to restart school education for almost all children and young people in Scotland in August. Subject to public health guidance, teachers and other school staff should be returning to schools in June, to plan and prepare for the new model of learning that will be implemented in August. This new model, will include physical distancing and significantly reduced class sizes as well as enhanced hygiene regimes. As a result most pupils will spend around half their time in school and half learning at home. Health and safety guidance, including risk assessments, will be in place prior to staff returning to school in June.
Mindful of the impact of lockdown on many of our most vulnerable children, local authorities will work with partners to increase the numbers of children attending critical childcare provision including hubs. This will include both keyworker children and children whom teachers, ELC professionals and other partners, in consultation with the local authority, think would benefit most from early direct contact with education and Scotland’s route map through and out of the crisis31care staff. There should be a particular focus on supporting children at key transition points (e.g. due to start P1 or S1) which may include somein-school experience in late June, where possible and safe to implement, so that they are supported to take the next steps in their education.
