Millais has a covered bike shelter by the Sports Hall - quad side available to students.

Whilst Millais is a secure environment we would encourage all cyclists to exercise best practice and use a bike lock whilst they are parked onsite. Cyclists should also wear a bike helmet.

A large number of students travel to and from school by bus. Our school buses drop off and depart from Depot Road.

At 3.00pm, students catching a bus home should report to the Main School Hall and join the relevant bus queue. Travel prefects assist staff in boarding the students safely onto the buses and have defined responsibilities for the duration of their journey. Late buses exist to enable students to travel home safely after attending Extended School Activities (see below).

Can anyone get on a bus?

Students that meet the criteria are able to travel on specific school buses that service Millais School - details can be found here 

It is important your child does not get on a bus without having been allocated a pass (as they will be refused travel)

Normally it is the responsibility of parents/carers to get their children to and from school safely.  However, your child may be able to get free transport to school if they meet one of the three criteria set out by West Sussex County Council.                              Find out if your child is entitled to free school transport and how to apply here.

It is very important that you notify School Transport if your family address changes as it could alter your eligibility to assistance with transport.

The bus operators cannot alter or arrange your child's transport - all queries must go through School Transport 01243 753530.

Late Bus

To enable all pupils to take part in out-of-school activities, attend an extra work session, or detention, there are late bus services which operate after 4pm.

In parts of West Sussex, the County Council provides coaches, buses, minibuses and taxis for pupils who are entitled to assistance with transport between home and school. Sometimes there are spare seats on these vehicles which can be made available to pupils who do not qualify for assistance. These spare seats are called concessionary seats, for which a termly ticket may be purchased. Concessionary seats are not available on public transport.

To apply for a seat please refer to the WSCC website for more information, including the relevant forms.
