School Plan
Here is an overview of the school plan, and you can see the Observatory marked at number 2, at the top left of the image .
Observatory Entrance
Pemberley Avenue is the entrance for the observatory. It is on the right hand side of the Avenue as you turn in from Park Avenue. If you come in via Kimbolton Road, the gate is at the end of the long hedge on your left.
The hedge runs the length of the school playing field. You can park on the road, but please try and park on the same side of the road as the gate!.
Quarry Theatre
Notice the direction for Quarry Theatre - straight on, through the wrought iron gates
Follow the path and continue past the Old Theatre and Gym
Continue along this path...
Pedestrians, turn LEFT at the end of the path
Those with limited mobility, turn RIGHT and park next to the climbing wall
The Climbing Wall is where to park for those of limited mobility. The building with the windows dead ahead is the Erskine May Hall - this is where the November monthly meeting will be held
Once parked, turn away from the Erskine May Hall, and follow the pathway to the Art department arch - see next picture
Having turned left, go through this arch, up the slope by the Art department
