The headteacher of a north-east school has told how senior pupils working towards their qualifications this year face a “challenging and anxious time.”
Lizbeth Paul, who leads Kemnay Academy, was speaking just a day after secondary pupils in Aberdeenshire returned to full-time in-class learning for the first time since December.
Covid-19 safety measures such as wearing face coverings, staggered break times, increased cleaning and social distancing for staff are in place.
