PARENTS in Wrexham are being reminded that school transport is set to return in January.

With schools in the area reopening on different days after the festive break, parents are being advised to continue to check for updates if their child uses this sort of transport.

A spokesperson for Wrexham Council, said: "The information is based on what ‘should happen’, however it may be subject to change due to Covid-19 and any additional guidelines or changes to lockdown rules that the Welsh Assembly Government may announce.

"There may also be issues which may affect staffing levels at the schools, pupil attendance and if pupils travel with a school escort their availability and the availability of the operator’s drivers may also be affected.

"So please check the pupils school website prior to the return in January 2021 to see if there are any updates, messages or changes to the start date."

The council also urged parents to keep the transport section up to date with any relevant transport issues they may have via school.transport@wrexham.gov.uk, which will be monitored over Christmas and New Year.

Parents should include any relevant changes to a pupil’s return date to school, pupil’s name, school attended and any information which will help to ensure appropriate transport arrangements are in place.
