By Road ­ from the M4, heading west from London:
­ Leave the M4 at Junction 16. Take the A3102 to Wootton Bassett, then the B4042 through Brinkworth to Malmesbury. At the Malmesbury roundabout, turn right onto the A429 (Malmesbury bypass). At the next roundabout, go straight ahead, and after 200m turn left onto the B4014 to Tetbury. At Tetbury, turn left onto the A433 Bath road. After about 3 miles, you will pass the Hare and Hounds Hotel on your right. After a further 400m, the school's main entrance is on the left. (This is not as complicated as it sounds! It is a simpler option, though slightly longer, to continue to Junction 18, and follow the instructions given below for travellers heading east from Bristol.)

By Road ­ from the M4 heading east from Bristol:
Leave the M4 at Junction 18 and take the A46 north in the direction of Stroud. After approximately 7 miles, turn right onto the A433 heading towards Tetbury. After approximately 4 miles, you will pass the entrance to the National Arboretum at Westonbirt on your left, then a red triangle "School" sign. The main school entrance is just a few hundred yards further on, on the right, just after the slight bend in the road.

By Rail:
Our nearest British Rail station is Kemble, 10 miles away, between Tetbury and Cirencester. It is served by mainline services from London Paddington and Cheltenham and by connecting services from Bath, Bristol and Swindon. There are good local taxi services; please call us for details if you need to order a taxi.

We are within easy reach of London Heathrow, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff airports. By prior arrangement, we can arrange for private helicopters to land in the school grounds.
