A teacher remains in hospital following a school bus crash in northern France in which eight pupils were also injured.
The bus, carrying 54 pupils from Dalbeattie High School and six adults, was in collision with a car in Normandy on Monday afternoon.
Eight pupils were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and three were kept in overnight, but they have since been discharged.
One teacher remains in hospital.
Dumfries and Galloway Council has decided to bring home the children, who were on the first day of their trip.
Director of education Colin Grant said "The well-being of all those on the trip is our priority. Following discussions, we have decided to bring the group home.
"The group has been given excellent support locally. We are in regular contact with the group and are continuing to monitor situation."
The driver of the car is thought to have been seriously injured in the crash near Alencon, local media reported.
A tweet sent from the school's Twitter account at around 2pm on Monday had shown a view from the bus window with the comment: "View from the Dalbeattie High adventure bus is not too shabby! Had our lunch & 2hrs from the Chateau de Tertre."
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "We are closely monitoring the situation in France following a bus crash involving a school trip from Scotland and our thoughts are with those affected and families worried about loved ones.
"The Scottish Government is in direct contact with Dumfries and Galloway education department and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and we stand ready to offer support and assistance as appropriate."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in contact with the authorities in France following a bus crash on September 28.
"We have been in direct contact with the school and offered consular assistance to the British nationals involved."
The council added that said French police will interview pupils and staff.
