A head teacher in North Wales has backed parents in calling for their council to scrap a school transport policy, which campaigners complain divides pupils on whether or not they are Catholic.

Pupils at St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School in Flint receive a free bus pass if they live more than three miles from the school and are Catholic.

However non-Catholics have to pay for the council-run bus, or for a more expensive pass on a school-run minibus.

5 live's Mark Hutchings spoke to parents who described the policy as "diabolical" and that it is a "blatant" example of secular discrimination.

The policy for the church school in Flintshire is now under review, although the council has defended it saying that it is not a "unique policy".
