A COALITION of trade unions and education, farming and tourism organisations called on the Welsh government today to scrap its reform of the school year.

The 11 organisations include NASUWT Cymru, NEU Cymru, Unison Cymru/Wales, GMB Wales, the National Farmers Union of Wales, the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society and the Welsh Association of Visitor Attractions.

The unlikely alliance has come together to challenge the Welsh government’s consultation on a change to the school year.
