Scrap masks in schools and bring back penalties for non-attendance, says head teacher

A head teacher has called for an end to masks in schools and said fines should be re-imposed for non-attendance.

Martin Hulland, head teacher at Cardiff West Community High, said masks affect learning and schools need to get back to more normality for the sake of young people.

From February 28 masks will no longer be required in lessons but should be worn in communal areas of secondary schools, education minister Jeremy Miles announced on Friday. Mr Hulland said he would like to get rid of masks in schools now.
