Scottish Government - Update on schools
Remote learning to continue for majority

Youngest pupils return to classroom.
The majority of primary and secondary school pupils will continue with remote learning until at least mid-March while children in early learning and childcare (ELC) and primaries 1 to 3 will return full-time to classrooms from Monday 22 February.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed that only strictly limited numbers of children and young people will return to classrooms next week, backed by strengthened school safety guidance and an enhanced testing for staff and senior pupils.

Funder fof the Week

The Esmee Fairnbairn Foundation
 
Esmee Fairnbairn use outcomes and indicators of progress to track how grants, investments and their own actions contribute to our impact goals.
Why they think identifying key outcomes is helpful:

It helps to think through and express in tangible ways the intended results of the work.
It allows them to understand how the work might contribute to their impact goals.
If they award a grant, it gives them an agreed framework within which you and them can both monitor progress as the work proceeds.
