When do schools in Scotland return after the summer holidays? The last day of term for each Scottish council area and when pupils will be back in classrooms

Pupils and parents are currently summer school holidays, with most schools in Scotland now in the second week of their break.

It will be a more normal summer this year after the uncertainties caused by the pandemic in 2020, although staycations will be the norm with foreign holidays still looking unlikely to happen.

These are the official school holiday dates for each Scottish council area, when term ended and when students are set to return to classrooms in August.

Check your local council website for updates on dates and times.
