Two hundred Welsh primary schools could close within five years, Britain's leading education expert warned today.

The independent education adviser to the Labour government said policy on closing primary schools in Wales is in sharp contrast to that in England.

Professor David Reynolds, of Exeter University, who is also a Western Mail columnist, said, 'If people don't think creatively about how we could support the schools, but instead just proceed to shut them, then I fear that one in six, one in seven of the rural primaries that are small will simply be taken out.
