Transport

Transport to Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form

Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form is proud that is attracts pupils from all over Suffolk and works with a number of organisations to support transport to and from school.

Suffolk County Council funded transport will be provided for children attending their nearest suitable school, where the distance from home to school is over the statutory walking distance; more than 3 miles from home for children aged 8 or over.  Please visit Suffolk on Board for more information:- (www.suffolkonboard.com) 

Children not eligible for SCC funded school travel, may wish to buy a spare seat on a school vehicle arranged specifically for children eligible for SCC funded school travel.  Passenger Transport cannot guarantee a spare seat will continue to be available as this will depend on the number of seats needed for children eligible for SCC funded school travel.  School travel capacity is re-assessed every term.  This may mean that spare seats are withdrawn if more children become eligible for SCC funded school travel.

Additionally, there are a number of privately run buses operating on various routes. The grid below shows those as highlighted and details of their routes and timetable can be found below.

For more information and to book seats on these routes please contact:

There are also buses arranged and run by parents, for example the Halesworth Hoppa. Please contact Mrs Parocki who can connect you with the parents who run this if you wish to know more.
