Storm Darragh battered Welsh port's reopening delayed again
Storm Darragh battered Welsh port's reopening delayed again Weather conditions have made it 'unsafe' for works at a Holyhead Port terminal to be completed Stena Line has pushed back the re-opening of terminal three (Image: Getty Images ) The re-opening of Holyhead Port has been delayed yet again. Stena Line has pushed back the opening of terminal three at the port as high winds have made it impossible to complete necessary works safely. The ferry company, which owns the port, had planned to reopen on July 15. It had originally planned to reopen on July 1. All ferry services at the north Wales port, operated by Stena Line, were cancelled before the Christmas period after Strom Darragh damaged Terminal 3 – with Terminal 5 also impacted to a lesser extent. Depending on weather, it is now hoped that the terminal will finally reopen within the next few days. A statement from Stena Line read: 'Due to high winds, it has become unsafe to complete the final work to Terminal 3 today, the lifting of the fender panel onto pile D2.2. "As the safety of our staff and contractors is our top priority, we have made the decision to delay the terminal's reopening, until conditions allow the work to be completed safely. Article continues below "If weather conditions improve, we only anticipate a short delay of a few days.' Two million passengers a year use the port, with 1,200 lorries and trailers crossing every day. Traders in Holyhead have reportedly seen a significant fall in footfall and earnings since the damage to the port. Article continues below

Private schools hike fees in Wales as pupils leave amid VAT changes
Private schools hike fees in Wales as pupils leave amid VAT changes Private schools in Wales are being hit hard by Labour reforms in Westminster Howell's School (Image: Western Mail and Echo Copyright ) Independent schools in Wales are increasing fees by thousands of pounds from September as a direct result of new VAT charges and admit that some pupils have left as a result. As the academic year ends headteachers say they have taken action to absorb costs but some are hiking fees by as much as 12%. It comes as reforms brought in by Keir Starmer's government in Westminster mean that from January this year private school fees in the UK have been made subject to a 20% VAT charge. Howell's in the leafy Llandaff suburb of Cardiff confirmed its fees will rise by 12% next term. The school lists fees for 2025-2026 as £15,279 a year with lunch and VAT for children aged three to six and £19,809 for senior students. School management said they have taken some measures to cushion the other 8% of the 20% VAT costs and realise the economic pressure on its families.

(Image: Westbourne School, Penarth ) A spokesperson said: "At Howell's, we are not immune to the impact of VAT on school fees and rising operational costs, but as a member of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST) – a family of 26 schools – we benefit from the scale, resources, and efficiencies of a larger network. Article continues below "We have managed to mitigate the full financial impact of the tax change and have increased fees, inclusive of VAT, by 12%, while absorbing the remaining 8%. "We are very well aware of the financial sacrifices Welsh families make to provide their children with a Howell's education, and the additional, incremental costs that add up over time. "With that in mind, we have taken meaningful steps to support our community and since January, breakfast club and after-school care has been included in fees for pupils in nursery to year six, and we have also reduced the cost of our holiday club by 30 percent." Westbourne School in Penarth will also be charging more from next turn to cover the higher VAT bill. The school lists fees as just over £4,300 a term for reception age children rising to just over £7,600 a term in sixth form. Mark Peters, chairman of Westbourne said fees there will "rise slightly" and that a "small number" of parents had made the choice to take their children away as a result. Realising the impact the school had spoken individually to parents, he said.. Describing VAT on private fees as "an imposition" he said the school, which takes day and boarder pupils, is in a strong position with international satellite schools and more than one in four pupils from overseas. "VAT is quite an imposition on families who work hard to send their children to independent school," Mr Peters said, "our approach is that it is very unfortunate. "We spoke to parents one to one. Working parents want to do their best for their children and value the education we offer". Ruthin School is raising fees from September as a result of VAT (Image: Ruthin School ) Ruthin School in north Wales, which traces its roots back to 1284, described the current climate as "challenging" and the market for new pupils as "slow" thanks to VAT. It has also hiked fees for its day pupils by between 8 and 12%. It lists its full boarding fees for 2024/2025 as £45,690 a year and full boarding fees for 2025-26 as £54,828 including VAT. Day fees are rising by thousands too. For day sixth form students next year's fees will be £18,500 compared to £17,698 in the 2024-25 academic year. A spokesperson said: "Ruthin School recognises that these are challenging times for all. Anyone considering enrolling their children to independent schools will now be having to think hard about the financial viability of this following the government introduction of VAT onto school fees. "With regard to the impact of VAT on the school over the last few months, whilst we have retained our existing students, we have seen a slower response to sign up from the local market as potential parents review their financial situation. "To support enrolment from the day market, we have launched the Gabriel Goodman Award, which provides financial support for local families who can demonstrate strong local connections but who don't feel they have the funds to afford full fees at our school. "We are very proud of our Welsh roots and are keen to keep the school attractive and relevant to the local market whom we have served for the last 740 years." Ruthin says it is "strong and stable" as it is part of the Global Galaxy Group, "a group of four high achieving schools" working together to best manage their educational offer and costs to parents". It will continue to offer both day and boarding places and, like many independent schools, recruits pupils from around the world beyond Wales' borders. But it warned: "With regard to the impact of VAT on the school over the last few months, whilst we have retained our existing students, we have seen a slower response to sign up from the local market as potential parents review their financial situation." Critics said the VAT bill would lead to school closures and greater burden on already overstretched state schools as families moved their children to the local mainstream system. Supporters said it was right that those who can afford it pay more tax. In the spring St Clare's School in Porthcawl announced plans to close at the end of the Christmas term. Education firm Cognita, which owns and runs the school announced soon after that it also plans to shut Oakleigh House School in Swansea. Announcing the closure of St Clare's after 85 years and Oakleigh House after nearly a century Cognita did not reference VAT directly but cited forces beyond its control. In a letters to parents the company also blamed the falling local birth rate saying projected pupil numbers for next academic year made the schools "unsustainable".

It's actions like this which heads say shows how much parents want the choice independent schools offer. Making the case for Wales' independent schools Paul Norton, director of the Welsh Independent Schools Council, said they often deliver life changing help and education to children who have not been able to get what they need in mainstream schools. "As someone who has dedicated years to running a school that provides specialist support for pupils with different learning needs and abilities, I believe it's time we spoke more openly about the vital role these schools play—not as alternatives to the state system, but as valued partners in a diverse educational ecosystem," he write recently on a WISC blog. St Clare's School, Porthcawl is facing potential closure by the end of this year Article continues below Mr Norton said independent schools in Wales come in all shapes and sizes, from large institutions with centuries of history to small, "nurturing environments". "Many families want and need something different for the education of their children, whether this has a grounding in additional learning needs, religious or cultural beliefs, mental wellbeing or small classes and a more nurturing environment, and our schools offer something irreplaceable: expertise, agility, and above all, hope," he said.
