Bus routes
The school is in between the two main roads into Burnham-on-Crouch. Both have stops which links to the nearby towns of Southminster and South Woodham Ferrers. There are bus stops directly outside the front of the school, both with raised kerbs to help getting on and off. In addition, along the Maldon Road is the school’s own off-road bus layby, meaning those students who come by school bus are dropped off at the school.
Train routes
Burnham-on-Crouch Station is 500 metres from the school, with pavements available all the way. The nearest stations on the line are Southminster in one direction, and Althorne and North Fambridge in the other direction, on the way to South Woodham Ferrers. Greater Anglia trains offer discounts for students at some schools.
