School is back in session for pupils at a primary school damaged by fire, but it is not yet known how long repairs will take.

Staff and pupils of Manorbier School in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, were evacuated on Monday after a fire broke out.

On Wednesday all children returned to learning at the nearby Buttyland Caravan Park.

From Monday, pupils will attend lessons at Jameston Community Hall for a longer period of time.
