No - Minister Weir said tonight that only P7s teachers would be back on 17th August - so they would be entitled to additional pay.

Staff ,who worked over Easter week , would get extra pay , as these hours are outside of their contracted hours

Wouldn't have a big problem returning earlier than normal as long as it's part of the 185 teaching days as agreed in the deal made in April. Longer Xmas/ Easter holidays to balance out

In Wales, they announced that the schools would be open for an extra week this side of the summer holidays, but that the first half term break in October would be extended to two weeks.

Plans for how and when pupils will return to school in Wales have been announced.

The country's education minister Kirsty Williams said schools will work "very differently" to the way they did before lockdown.

There will be a four-week term starting from Monday 29 June, that will finish on Monday 27 July.

There will also be an extra week added to the Autumn half-term break.

Class sizes will be smaller, but schools will be open to all years for limited periods during the week.

Each year will be split into groups and there will be staggered starts, lessons and break times. This means that at most a third of pupils will be in school at any one time.
