Bus routes
The nearest bus stops to the school are on the corner of Monkwick Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Way, about 300 metres from the school. Buses serving these stops run around the south of Colchester. Slightly further away are the services on Mersea Road. These are very regular and run into the town centre from the outlying villages, like Abberton and Mersea Island. On the western side of the school, a short walk on an off-road path is Berechurch Road. This has bus stops for other suburbs of town and villages like Layer-de-la-Haye.
