Driving & Cars

As we are part of the Nottingham City Work Place Parking Levy Scheme we are not able to offer any onsite parking for students. Without prior arrangements there is no onsite dropping off/picking up of students. We would also ask that parents/carers/friends/driving instructors do not drop off/pick up students at the college entrance or the island directly outside the college gateway. The estates opposite the college operate resident permit parking only scheme which covers the whole of the estate including any private car parks.

Cycles and Motorcycles/Scooters

You are welcome to cycle to college. We do have secure cycle storage on site, the code is available from the main reception on production of a current college ID. Please bring a sturdy ‘D’ lock to secure, take a photo & keep a record of the frame number of your cycle. Please ensure your cycle is covered by insurance.

Weather

If Bilborough Sixth Form College needs to close due to severe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on the home page of the college website, we will also tweet the information.
