Transport
Girls travel from far and wide to St Mary’s, on St Mary’s own fleet of school buses or on services run by other operators.
Due to demand, our Senior School transport has expanded, with new routes from out towards Frinton and Ipswich and an extended service towards Sudbury.
Our St Mary’s bus routes currently include Great Horkesley, West Bergholt, Braiswick, Danbury, Chelmsford, Maldon, Witham, Felsted, Great Notley, Coggeshall, Mersea, Peldon, and Layer. New stops and routes are considered each year. Please contact us to discuss further.
Other providers of school transport stop right outside St Mary’s Senior School – please contact the transport provider direct for information on routes, timetables and prices.
