School leaders in Wales will end their industrial action after accepting an offer on pay and workload.

Members of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) Cymru have been restricting hours to between 0900 and 1700 since February in a dispute with Wales' 22 local councils.

Head and deputy head teachers have also been refusing to take part in extra meetings, appraisals or inspections.

In a ballot, 74% agreed to accept the offer, and their action ends on Friday.

NAHT Cymru national secretary Laura Doel said the action had "deliberately protected the delivery of education."

"School leadership had become a cottage industry of evidence gathering, data collection, report writing and form-filling, which detracted from their core purpose of leading teaching and learning in our schools," she said.

"An improved pay offer and some additional funding, alongside a review of the education consortia, coupled with the workload agreement, has satisfied the asks of the profession."
