Thomas Mills High School is a flourishing state-funded high school situated in the historic market town of Framlingham.  It is consistently one of Suffolk’s highest performing 11-18 schools with many distinctive features.  The school is an all-round place of learning with one prospective parent capturing that ‘it’s cool to learn here.’  Alongside academic excellence, we seek to nurture personal development and talent through a wide programme of extra-curricular opportunities from music and drama to sports and trips.

Our broad and balanced curriculum offers increased choice as pupils mature.  We aim to provide high quality teaching.  From Year 9 pupils enjoy a more flexible and individual curriculum.  We are large enough to provide a good range of options and facilities; small enough not to become impersonal.  Our Charter of Values shapes a school ethos.  Although year groups are managed by Heads of Year, we also have a House system.  The Houses are led by Sixth Form officials.  There are other posts of responsibility including the Head Boy and the Head Girl.

The students of Thomas Mills High School were awarded WCSQM reaccreditation in July 2022
