I'm either going to stay on here trying to get to school or I'm going to leave and get a job or see if I can get into Yale

Graham Jones, Pupil

Under the new system, children as young as 11 would have to use two buses to get to and from school.

However, parents claim this is dangerous and and say they are concerned over the safety of their children.

One teenager has become so concerned he is considering leaving the school.

Graham Jones is studying for AS levels but walking to school from Hightown has become a strain.

Bus Services

"I've got to walk half a mile to get a bus from town and then up here.

"It's getting really tiresome, I've been walking through the winter when it has been raining and snowing and I've been getting ill.

"I'm either going to stay on here trying to get to school or I'm going to leave and get a job or see if I can get into Yale."

The school was relocated last year from the Hightown area of Wrexham to the Cefn Road area.

Initially, a bus service was provided but has since been withdrawn due to a lack of profit.

There are about 17 pupils as young as 11 who are expected to walk nearly three miles along a dangerous route

Carol Williams, parent

Wrexham County Council said that it cannot provide an alternative service because the pupils do not live more than three miles away from the school.

Parents and teachers now want to meet the council to reach a solution.

Carol Williams, who has two children aged 14 and 15 at the school, says parents are extremely concerned.

"When the school moved from Stockwell Grove to Cefn Road, the parents were obviously worried about how children were going to get to school," she said.

"They were promised that they would have transport to the school.

"Recently around November, the bus service ended and the children were having to come out of school 20 minutes early to get a public bus home.

Concerned parents

"We had letters a fortnight ago to say the town bus was re-routing so now the children have no transport whatsoever."

Ms Williams added: "There are about 17 as young as 11 who are being expected to walk nearly three miles along a dangerous route to Cefn Road.

"The parents need to know their children are in school safely."

Staff at the school have said they can understand parents concerns.

Deputy head Aneurin Roberts said: "Parents, quite rightly are very worried for their childrens safety in the middle of town.

"I've spoken to 25 maybe 30 parents over a period of time who are very, very concerned."
