The 17 Edinburgh schools closed due to building defects have reopened ahead of the start of a new term.
In April, five secondaries, 10 primaries and two additional support needs schools were shut due to concerns over structural issues.
The schools, which were 10 years old, were originally built by Miller Construction under a £360m PPP contract with the Edinburgh Schools Partnership.
Miller Construction, together with Amey, was part of the ESP consortium contract. In 2001 ESP won the £360m deal to design, build and maintain the 17 schools for 30 years. Miller Construction was acquired by Galliford Try in 2014.
