After what has been a rollercoaster of a school year for parents and children, schools are back with more normality in sight for the upcoming term.
Scotland has removed blanket isolation requirement for school classes and as long as Covid tests prove negative, children and teenagers no longer need to isolate for 10 days if they come into contact with a case.
This is good news for parents, guardians and children who are eager for this term to go a little smoother.
