Rowan Johnson, Vice Principal of Sixth Form, warned parents the works could increase journey times.

He said: "Roadworks are due to commence on the junctions at the roundabout just below the College on Monday 16th September.

"We are anticipating that this could well result in increased journey times so please could you bear this in mind if driving students to College."

On Monday September 16, Stepney Road on the approach to the roundabout coming from Stepney Hill will be closed overnight from 6.30pm to 6am the following day.
