Walk or Cycle If you choose to cycle to college, there is an area designated for bicycles adjacent to the student car park. Please note this is not a secure area, therefore students using this area will be doing so at their own risk. Driving information Travel by Car or Motorbike Own car/motorbike – parking is available to Y13 students on the student car park. Parking spaces are limited, therefore is on a first come, first served basis. If there are no spaces when you arrive at college, you must park in a legal, safe place which is respectful to our neighbours and please be mindful of traffic. Disability parking – There are a limited number of disability parking spaces. Please note that unless the parent/carer/visitor is attending college for a visit/meeting, these spaces are only designated for picking up/dropping off students with a disability. Drop off / pick up – please note that dropping off or picking up is not allowed in the bus bay. Students must be dropped off or picked up on the Student Car Park. It is therefore advised that at the end of the day, you arrange a time to be collected when the car park is emptier e.g. after the first wave of buses have left the bus bay; 10-15 minutes after 4pm where possible.
