Getting to and from The Colne Community School and College

These routes and maps are suggestions of how you could stop taking the car and swap to cycling, walking, or scooting. They don’t show every possible route and you could have fun finding a way that works for you. If you know a safe way that gets you there even quicker, that’s great! Take that route instead.
