Neyland Community School has partially closed today (Friday, March 18) due to staff shortages, with nursery pupils being told to stay at home.

Pembrokeshire County Council said: “Unfortunately, the Nursery provision will be closed this Friday morning - class Dosbarth Caldey.”

However, Ysgol Harri Tudur/Henry Tudor School has gone back to a ‘fully open’ status today, after being partially closed.

This means that Neyland Community School is the only school in the whole of the county which doesn't have a 'fully open' status.

Earlier in the week, Pembrokeshire County Council spoke about the recent partial school closures, saying that attendance of both pupils and staff is improving.

A spokesperson from the county council said: “The overall position in relation to staff and learner absences in schools in the county has improved over the course of the term.

"Pembrokeshire’s school attendance in the first week of March was the highest in Wales.  

“However, issues are still arising in a small number of localities, which are affecting some schools.

"Finding supply staff to cover absences is often very challenging.

"Schools only close where there is no other option, and do everything possible to reopen as soon as they can.”
