It depends on where your classes are timetabled:

If you study Science, Engineering, Health & Social Care, Early Years, Business, M&E or Construction, most of your classes will be in the new building (Blocks A and B) — use the Elm Park Road entrance.

If you study are a SEND learner or study Creative Media, ICT, Art, Accounting, Maths, or English, most of your classes will be in Larch and Hawthorn — use the Old Church Lane entrance.

There are now three entrances to the college: Elm Park Road, Old Church Lane, and The Ridgeway (disabled access only).

Students with mobility issues will be contacted individually with information about using The Ridgeway entrance, which provides disabled access.

Science, Engineering, H&SC, Early Years, Business, M&E and Construction students will mainly be timetabled in Blocks A and B in the new building.

SEND, Creative, ICT, Art, Accounting, Maths, and English students will mainly be timetabled in Larch and Hawthorn.
