At Stockton Sixth Form College (SSFC), we understand that choosing where to study goes beyond subjects and grades. The practical aspects matter too, particularly how you’ll travel to and from college each day. That’s why we’ve eliminated one major concern for students and families along our bus route. Taking daily buses takes its toll financially throughout the year – however, now you can wave that fee goodbye when you join in September.
Your Free Journey to Success
For students living along our dedicated route from Acklam through Thornaby to Ingleby Barwick, we provide completely free travel to SSFC. No hidden costs, no complex connections, no morning travel stress – it just works. We understand that these specific areas have historically been difficult to commute from via public transport, but that ends now!
Currently, students receive a bus pass to Stockton Sixth Form College from anywhere in the Tees Valley at any time – making those early morning commutes that bit better.
Why We Believe Travel Should Be Free
Education shouldn’t be limited by postcode or travel expenses. We understand this invisible wall – it’s the main motivator for our new bus route. We offer so many brilliant opportunities, and we don’t want you to miss out. From our Aviation Suite to T Level Engineering and T Level Adult Nursing, September has never looked so exciting.
This dedicated student service operates every weekday, perfectly matched to college hours. You’ll enjoy reliable, direct transport without the uncertainty of public buses or the expense of daily fares.
Peace of Mind for Everyone
For students: Start each day focused and relaxed, knowing your transport is guaranteed. No rushing for buses, no travel anxiety – just a smooth journey to begin your learning. With this extra stress taken off your plate, you can concentrate on your studies, knowing you’ll get there and back with ease.
For parents: Rest assured your son or daughter has safe, reliable transport. Our dedicated service means you no longer need to worry about public transport delays or safety concerns during these crucial post-GCSE years.
Excellence Beyond Transport
SSFC is renowned for outstanding academic achievement, a wide range of A Level and vocational programmes, and a genuinely supportive learning environment. Whether your path leads to university, apprenticeships or employment, we’ll help you succeed.
By removing travel barriers, we ensure you can focus entirely on what matters most: your education, personal growth, and future success.
