Kirsty Williams said a four-week term ending on July 27 would give pupils, staff and parents time to prepare for a “new normal” when the next academic year begins in September. He told The Observer: "I want to see children back at school next month, and I expect the prime minister to deliver on that commitment.

Some direct or indirect mixing between children in different contact groups will also be unavoidable.
"We have now a significant period of experience of how we can operate our schools in a safe and secure way, remembering that throughout this pandemic over 500 schools have been open to support critical worker and vulnerable children, and we have managed that safely.

All schools in Wales will reopen on June 29, the country’s education minister has said. "On childcare, we will be working with the childcare sector over the summer to increase the size of the contact groups and to support the gradual move towards full operations," she added.Plaid Cymru education spokeswoman Sian Gwenllian said: "While it is not clear why the announcement has taken so long when Scotland and Northern Ireland published their guidance back in early May and June, this will be good news for pupils' education as the interaction between pupil and their teacher is of paramount importance to their learning and wellbeing.

In some areas, the youngest pupils will go back to school first. "Learners are at risk. "So initially we will not to be imposing fines on parents who choose not to send their children back. "At some stage we may indeed return to the situation as it was pre-covid, where fines will be issued to parents," she added.Ms Williams said she would be working with nurseries and childcare groups over the summer "to support the gradual move towards full operations". Schools in Wales reopened in a limited capacity on 29 June ""We don't know what the conditions are going to be like in September," he said. "Schools will return to full capacity with only limited social distancing within contact groups," said Ms Williams. "Professor Whitty is joined by the chief medical officers and deputy chief medical officers for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in saying children should return to school during the pandemic.Most schools in England and Wales will return on either September 1 or September 2, with the autumn term running until December 18.Schools that can accommodate all pupils from the start of the term have been told do so.However, there will be a period of flexibility in recognition schools may want to focus on priority year groups, such as those new to secondary schools, those sitting exams next summer or those in reception classes.Schools in Scotland have already welcomed pupils back, after they were given the go-ahead to reopen from August 11 earlier this month.In Northern Ireland, pupils going into years seven, 12 and 14 are to return to school on August 24 with all other pupils returning from September 1.Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants all pupils to return to school next month, saying it is the "right thing for everybody".But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said Mr Johnson’s promise to get all children back to school had been put at "serious risk" by a "week of chaos" over exam results. "I'm glad that it's based on scientific data rather than pressure from parents," she said.The group giving scientific advice to the Welsh Government said there remained some "ongoing uncertainty in transmissibility" of coronavirus by children.But it said that "real world observation of school opening in England and other countries has shown little transmission by children".Transmissibility in children under the age of 12 seems to be particularly low, the Technical Advisory Group said, "and this leads us to feel able to recommend that these children can be covid secure using more flexible controls than the 2m distance, such as seating facing in the same direction.

Please see our Professor Chris Whitty has said reopening schools brings less risk of long-term harm than keeping young pupils at home.

Social distancing for adults should remain in line with the regulations and guidance. "Schools will be required to minimise the risk of transmission by taking other mitigating measures.
