Local to Nelson

Our Scotland Road centre is in the heart of Nelson, just off the high street and close to The Plaza shopping centre, so drop-off and pick-up are easy. Families come to us from across Pendle, including Barrowford, Brierfield, Colne, Barnoldswick and the villages around Pendle Hill.

Students arrive from local primary schools including Walverden Community Primary in Nelson, St Paul's CE Primary in Brierfield and St Mary's RC Primary in Brierfield, and we build on the foundations each school has put in place rather than replacing them.
