Travel to School

Paid Service

The school provides a number of routes to the school for those pupils who wish to attend The Maelor School but do not qualify for free transport. We provide our own transport service via Pat’s Coaches.

Free Transport

Wrexham County Borough will provide assisted home to school transport under the following circumstances:

• where a child resides over three miles from their nearest appropriate* secondary school
• where the route to school is considered to be hazardous by the County Borough Council
• where a child requires transport on medical grounds and no suitable public transport exists
• where transport to an identified school is essential in a pupil’s Individual Development Plan (IDP)

This would normally be on medical, social or educational grounds, and would be deemed essential in the context of other criteria identified in this policy.

* An appropriate school is deemed to be the nearest school that provides education for the relevant age and ability of a pupil.

If you believe you are eligible for free transport, please contact: Wrexham County Borough School Transport Department on (01978) 292056
