Sigma Sixth Transport Information
Car
If you are being dropped off at the college please use the designated drop off point or the main car park.
Use the pedestrian walkways at the front or back of the college.
Parking on the college campus is very limited. If you do use the front car park please ensure that you do not block access and only use the allocated bays. You are not permitted to use the back car park.
At the start and close of the college day, the possibilities for accidents are high; please be aware of the dangers. If you are driving always give way to pedestrians and cyclists.
You must also drive slowly and very carefully around the college and observe the speed limits shown.
Bike
There are bike sheds at the back of the building for our students.
Please ensure bikes are secured with a lock.
