Please see below a communication from Flintshire County Council regarding School Transport.
School Transport September 2023
As you will be aware over the last couple of years we have changed the way in which parents apply for school transport, the process has worked extremely well and we have therefore continued with the same the process for a number of years.
For information, I have included a copy of the timetable below, please note all parents need to complete the application form for school transport online (I have attached the link to the online form and process below)

The above timetable shows a closing date for parents to complete applications by the 31st May 2023, and whilst we have received a high number of application forms to date, I would be grateful if you could please encourage parents of nursery pupils to apply for school transport for reception and Year 6 pupils to apply for transport to secondary school for September 2023 as soon as possible.
Please note: – providing that a pupils home address / school attended have not changed, there is no need for parents to re-apply for school transport every year.
