PUPILS at the Maelor School in Penley will learn on Monday whether their studies will take place in the classroom or continue online.
Wales started 2021 in lockdown and as such pupils have begun the first week of school with lessons taking place online.
The Welsh Government has announced that a decision will be made on Monday as to whether this online learning will continue of if pupils will be allowed to return to school.
In the meantime headteacher Simon Ellis has kept students and parents updated on the current situation.
In his latest online newsletter, Mr Ellis said: "During next week, a decision will be taken by the Welsh Government, local authority and school as to whether we will be resuming 'face to face' teaching on Monday, January 11.
"As previously communicated all pupils should attempt to follow their usual timetable.
"Teaching staff will be available during school hours to answer queries or to hand in work, their usual email addresses should be used.
"Until we start back at school 'face to face' there will be no transport provided, refunds and finance adjustments will be made during January, this is not a simple task so will take some time.
"The school has not received any information about within school testing for Covid, I will of course let you know what the procedures are if this takes place."
Mr Ellis has also provided an update for the parents of essential workers.
He added: "The school will be again coordinating facilities for critical workers children to be supervised during the school day.
"The guidance we have received states that face to face provision will be available for children of critical workers and children who are considered to be vulnerable on the third day of opening.
"Critical workers children will not be taught extra lessons in school and will be supervised by a limited number of staff, they will use our IT facilities to access the same lessons as those who are at home.
"Unfortunately, there won't be any school based transport available and no canteen staff will be on site.
"Lastly, I'd like to again pass my thanks to you for your support and understanding.
"Our aim will continue to be to ensure that our learners receive the best possible education whilst in our care.
"Please keep an eye on our social media platforms and our website for any changes to the current situation."
