Transportation
Getting to St Paul's
Whether travelling from across town or around the corner, we want all our students to arrive safely, calmly, and on time, ready for a day of learning.
St Paul’s is easily accessible by a variety of transport methods, and we encourage students to choose safe, sustainable options whenever possible.
Walking & Cycling
We encourage walking or cycling to school wherever possible. St Paul’s is well-connected by footpaths and cycle routes, and we have secure bike storage on site. Students cycling to school should wear helmets and bring a lock for their bike.
Car Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Families choosing to drive should use the designated drop-off and pick-up zones at The Triangle so that students can enter school via the underpass.
Please follow all safety signage and guidance from staff on duty, especially during busy times. For the safety of students and staff, we ask that cars do not idle unnecessarily or block pedestrian walkways.
Local Buses
Local bus services are provided by Compass Bus, with routes that link nearby towns and villages across Mid-Sussex and covering much of Burgess Hill.
The Triangle Leisure Centre, located directly opposite St Paul’s Catholic College is served by the 35A/35C with a special bus operated for students am & pm. Route 100 also serves The Triangle every hour all day. Students should enter the school via the underpass.
