Mark and Catrina Cowie’s 12-year-old son has been to school for half an hour this term. And the couple from Wrexham are adamant they are not sending him back unless he can go to lessons without wearing a mask.
They are among parents demanding Wales removes the requirement for secondary pupils and staff to wear masks as Covid cases fall.
Mask-wearing rules for pupils in English schools were scrapped this week but First Minister Mark Drakeford said that children in Wales would have to wear them until at least the February half-term.
