It is located to the south of Bramcote Woods, and to the east of Bramcote Park recreational and open grounds. It is part of a larger campus of schools build around the 1950s, which include Foxwood Special School, and the former Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College now a part of Alderman White School.

Access to the school is from the eastbound A52 to Nottingham and shares a drive with Bramcote Leisure Centre and Foxwood School. There is also a restricted vehicular and pedestrian access to the site of the former Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College following the creation of the federation, to enable staff and student movements between the schools.
