Schools return: Children in class at Arbours Primary Academy in Northampton With primary schools in Scotland set to reopen, do you think English schools should follow suit? Schools in Scotland are set to return on a phased basis from February 22 subject to final confirmation in two weeks’ time. Under the plan, if confirmed, all children under school age in early learning and childcare will return. Pupils in Primary 1 to Primary 3 will also be allowed back into school, as will those in the senior phase of secondary school. However, the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said older pupils will only be able to return to ensure practical work important to achieving qualifications is completed, and only between 5% and 8% of any school’s roll should be able to return.
