PEMBROKESHIRE County Council has confirmed the revised school term dates for the remainder of the 2019-2020 term and the 2020-2021 term on its website.

There will be a two-week Autumn half term break between Monday, October 19 and Friday, October 30, with learners returning to schools on Monday, November 2.

The break for the Christmas holidays begins on Monday, December 21, with schools re-opening on Monday, January 4, 2021.
