How to use the map 

  • Zoom in or out by using the + and – buttons in the bottom right-hand corner of the map. 
  • Click on each location pin to discover the name of the institution, and to get a link to their website and travel page (directions) if they have one.
  • If an institution doesn’t have a travel page listed, it means their website doesn’t have any additional information on how to get there besides what we have on our map.
  • Please contact the sixth form/college/HEI directly to find out more in these cases.
