The Independent says a trial to extend the school day in Wales has started, the Welsh Government has said.
Education minister Jeremy Miles said 13 primary and secondary schools and one college will take part in a pilot scheme – adding an extra five hours a week for groups of pupils.
A total of 1,800 children will have a longer day for 10 weeks and take part in sessions such as art, music and sport, as well as academic lessons.
