Update on schools (Sunday 20 December)

Following the First Minister’s announcement on Saturday, please find more details of what this will mean for our services.

Schools

Following public health advice, the Scottish Government advises schools should remain OPEN until the end of term. Having taken advice from public health, Midlothian Council will ensure our schools and early learning and childcare settings will continue with effective preventative measures in place.

We understand that some parents have been in touch to say they will keep their child at home. If you intend to keep your child at home please inform your school as you normally would.

On Tuesday 22 December, we will update parents and carers about arrangements for schools and our early learning settings after the festive break.
