A new primary school in Welshpool has finally opened its doors to pupils and staff. Welshpool Church in Wales Primary School welcomed children of critical workers, and vulnerable learners to the new Salop Road site on the first day of the school term on Wednesday, January 6. The majority of pupils will not be able to visit their new school building until at least January 18 after the Welsh Government announced that all schools in Wales should move to online learning due to rising number of new coronavirus cases. “As you can imagine, tomorrow is not the opening to our new school building that we would have liked and we are desperately sad that not all our children and their families can experience it altogether,” said a spokesperson for the school on Tuesday evening.
