From the M61 Junction 6, take the A6027 past The University of Bolton Stadium and take the left fork at the Beehive roundabout along the A673 signposted for Horwich. Continue along this road, passing the fire station on your left until you reach a mini-roundabout. Travel straight past and take the first right on to Lever Park Avenue. Travel along this road which joins into Rivington Lane. The school is situated on your right.

*Please note: car parking is limited so you may have to park on Rivington Lane.

Please refrain from parking in front of the bollards at the bottom of the main drive from 2.30pm onwards, as this causes an obstruction to any emergency vehicles needing to enter the site.
