The School is on the Banbury Road, which is one of the two main roads leading from the City Centre northwards. Since it is some way from the rail and bus stations, we do recommend that visitors take a taxi, especially if you have heavy luggage. However, for those who are keen to walk the following directions apply:

 

From the Train Station

Turn left as you leave the station area. The Royal Oxford Hotel is directly in front of you; keep left of it and walk along Hythe Bridge Street. At the end walk straight (crossing at pedestrian lights) into George Street. Go past the first left, this is the coach station…

 

From the Coach Station

Turn left out of the coach station on to George Street. At the end of George Street Debenhams Store is on the left. Turn left into Magdalen Street and walk northwards towards (you will pass the Ashmolean museum on your left) continue until you see the road fork. You will need the right fork – this is Banbury Road, continue up this road (passing one road on the left – Bevington Road), 51 Banbury Rd is just past on left.

Taxi ranks are located at Oxford Railway Station, Gloucester Green Coach Station and St Giles' in the city centre.
