Pupils return date

Local parents, carers and pupils are reminded that the additional in-service days proposed by the Scottish Government means that both the summer and Christmas breaks will be a day longer for pupils.

The two additional in-service days will take place on Tuesday 20th August 2019 and Monday 6th January 2020 and aim to support professional learning for teaching staff. 

This means that West Lothian schools will resume for pupils on Wednesday 21st August 2019 and after the Christmas break on Tuesday 7th January 2020.

All West Lothian Council-run secondary, primary, nursery and special schools are affected by this change.
