The rules
Learners must live:
- 2 miles or more away from their nearest Welsh medium primary school
- 3 miles or more away from their nearest Welsh medium high school
We do this even if another school is closer to promote the Welsh language.
Some comments
"The Welsh language must not be treated less favourably than English language and the Welsh Government have a Welsh language strategy, Cymraeg 2050 and route into Welsh medium education for as many children as possible remains one of their priorities. If school transport was removed for children who wanted to access a Welsh medium education this would go against the ethos/standards in which we are trying to achieve."
"Removing transport to a Welsh medium school would mean our child would not be able to attend a Welsh medium school, this could negatively impact her as we are a Welsh speaking household and removing transport could have further implications to her future career opportunities."
"Please give our future children the opportunities to thrive in all aspects of education by supporting our Welsh language."
