Since I have been at Thomas Mills, I have made a huge number of friends who will stay with me for a long time. I have enjoyed everything I have done at the school, whether it’s clubs, the amazing trips, learning (both subjects and skills) and more! There are so many opportunities at this school and I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I hadn’t come to Thomas Mills. The teachers are always helpful and there for the students.
Starting Thomas Mills has been so amazing, and Year 7 has been the best. I have made so many new friends, tried new things and grown in confidence over the year. One of the best parts at Thomas Mills has been the sport. I have really loved being involved in the lunchtime clubs and fixtures. They are both so much fun and I always look forward to them! My form tutor and head of year have been so helpful and welcoming; I know they will always be there for me. All of the teachers are so nice and lovely. In June we get to go to Holland with the school for five days, which I am really looking forward to. It will be so much fun! Overall I think Thomas Mills has something for everyone; Year 7 has been such a fun and memorable year.
I have loved my time at Thomas Mills; it has gone so fast! There have been so many opportunities during the past three years such as Activities Week trips to Holland, Thetford Forest, and this year I am going to the Lake District which I am looking forward to. I have played Tennis for the school and also competed at Trampolining and Athletics each year. Two highlights at school have been Bronze DofE and for my volunteering section, I have been volunteering at my Tennis club with the 4-7 year olds – I’m going onto Silver now. Apart from everything I have been involved with and done since being at Thomas Mills, my time here has helped me continue to be happy and confident, and I have met lots of people from other primary schools since joining who are now my friends.
During my time at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form I have been able to experience many amazing opportunities. My favourite school trip was the German Exchange. It taught me so much about German culture and I felt very privileged to be a part of this trip. At school, my favourite subjects are German and Drama. Drama is a subject where I can express myself and be creative. Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form is inspiring and has prepared me so well for my future. At this school minds are open which enable possibilities to be born.
Since starting at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form, I have enjoyed many of the opportunities available. A highlight would be the Holland Trip in year 7. During the school day, there are a multitude of extra-curricular activities, from sports on the field to chess club in the library. The school timetable is varied with a good mixture of academic and creative subjects. I enjoy my Music and Drama lessons because of the impressive opportunities we have in these subjects at this school. I look forward to going to school every day.
My first two years at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form have been amazing. There are so many opportunities and activities available, from girls’ STEM at BT to team building on the 2023 Holland Trip. I have learned so much at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form. The teachers are kind and supportive and have inspired me with their knowledge and passion. They have encouraged me to try new clubs and take up a new musical instrument which I’ve loved. There is not a day at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form where I have not learned something new and had fun!
I have enjoyed my time at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form so far. I take the opportunity to participate in as many sporting activities available to me as I can – and there are a lot. I also enjoy being a member of the first orchestra, string and jazz ensembles, as well as three student bands within the school. As I approach my final year of high school, I am looking forward to staying on into the Sixth Form and continuing to make the most of the amazing musical opportunities available at this school.
My time at Thomas Mills High School
 & Sixth Form has been jam-packed
with both academic studies and extra-curricular activities, and the support from staff throughout has been second to none. I know first-hand that the students here receive the encouragement and guidance needed to explore their interests and talents, whilst still achieving great academic success. The sense of family within the school creates a safe space for every student to grow and become the young adult that they aspire to be.
My year 7 experience has been great and I have loved every bit of it. The things I have enjoyed the most are meeting new friends. I am
also enjoying all the clubs at lunchtime, in particular the sports ones. The teachers have certainly made my transition from primary to high school a lot easier than I thought it would be.
My high school experience at Thomas Mills has been amazing. I’ve really enjoyed participating in the wide range of extra-curricular activities such as orchestra, ensembles and sports clubs. I’m looking forward to staying on for sixth form, where I can study my favourite subjects in more depth.
My experience of high school so far has been great. I have enjoyed the diversity of subjects and attending a library club. I enjoy science experiments because there is always an excited buzz around the room. I particularly like art because of the wide variety of activities and because it is a creative subject. I would like to learn more about science and biology to hopefully study wolf behaviour in the future.
I’ve been at Thomas Mills High School for almost three and a half years, joining mid-way through year 7 and have had some awesome experiences and challenges. I am very much enjoying my GCSE studies and I was privileged to be involved in the small group of students who helped with the world class schools award which the school gained in 2019. This was an experience I’ll never forget.
I have been at Thomas Mills since year 7 and have enjoyed every year here. I took Maths, Chemistry and Biology for A-Level with Physics at AS. In September I will be going to Leeds University to study medicine and one day aim to be a part of Médecins Sans Frontières. There have been many opportunities offered by the school that strengthened my university application such as ‘paired reading’, volunteering at the primary school and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. The teachers have genuinely cared about my progress and future aspirations and have supported me throughout my 7 years here, helping me to reach my goal. With an atmosphere that is friendly and accepting, there is a place for everyone at Thomas Mills from maths club to sports clubs to film club in the library.
