Question
Will the Minister confirm whether children in a school class bubble from the same year group are able to sleep in the same room at an outdoor education centre, as is the case in England?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Mark Drakeford)
I announced on 18 June that primary school children in the same school contact group or bubble will be able to stay overnight in a residential outdoor education centre from 21 June.
Our latest guidance for schools is attached: https://gov.wales/operational-guidance-schools-and-settings-html.
We will consider when it is safe for secondary school children to stay in shared residential accommodation as part of our three-week regulations review cycle.
