Powys County Council has today confirmed schools in the county will not move to four-day weeks, an option which had been explored by the Liberal Democrat-run Council.
James said:
“It’s entirely right that any suggestion of moving schools to a four-day week has been ditched.
“It was extremely disappointing that Powys Council even put this option forward, especially when you consider all the school days children missed due to pandemic restrictions.
“Our children need face-to-face education, and I’m pleased the concerns of local Conservatives have been listened to and acted upon.”
