Cambridge: Hills Road Sixth Form College

We launched our Cambridge holiday camps and computing workshops in August 2015 at Hills Road Sixth Form College, consistently ranked as the top sixth form college in the UK. Campers can take advantage of the excellent facilities on offer, including well-equipped classrooms and lecture rooms, and large green outdoor spaces for lunchtime activities.

Hills Road is easily accessible by car, a short drive from Junction 11 of the M11 (detailed driving directions). If you are travelling by public transport, the school is a 10-15 minute walk from Cambridge Railway Station and also on the Citi 1 and 7 bus routes from the city centre and the Babraham Park and Ride route.
