Nicola Sturgeon says years P1 to P3 will be back in class from 22 February as part of a phased return
Nicola Sturgeon has announced a phased return to school for Scotland’s youngest children, with nurseries and all primary pupils from P1 to P3 back in the classroom from 22 February.
Explaining that adults would have to live with restrictions for longer in order to prioritise children’s return to education, Sturgeon confirmed that the current lockdown – with its stay-at-home message – would remain in place until the end of the month, although she added she was “optimistic” that there could be some easing from the beginning of March.
