Preparations are underway to re-open schools across Carmarthenshire for children to ‘check in and catch up’ before the summer holidays.
Education Minister Kirsty Williams announced that schools could re-open from June 29 and that the summer term would be extended by a week.
The council has already been working hard to put plans in place for increasing the operation of county schools to enable more children to attend when the time is right to do so.
