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.

In addition, we offer a safe and secure environment, with free parking and access to a range of exam rooms and facilities.
