Travel

We organise and hold exams throughout the year at Ratcliffe College which is easily accessible for all transport routes. Situated on the A46, seven miles north of Leicester, we are close to Loughborough, Melton Mowbray and the city of Nottingham.

Access by train is just as easy due to the campus, being 20 minutes from Leicester’s railway station, with its regular services to London and the North.

The M1 and M42 motorways bring Birmingham (45 minutes) and East Midlands (30 minutes) airports within easy reach. In addition, London-Heathrow and London-Stansted are within easy travelling distance.
