Our Dartford campus is located slightly out of the town centre on Oakfield Lane and the campus has several green open space areas for students to enjoy. Our Dartford Campus offers students and staff a FREE Shuttle Bus service from Dartford station running regularly in term times.
The campus boasts the highly acclaimed Miskin Theatre and an industry leading state of the art facility for Creative and Performance Arts. We also host our own radio station and shows on-site from our very own Miskin studios. We also offer excellent sports and fitness facilities located at the "Osterberg Centre."
So called Osterberg because part of the Oakfield Lane campus was purchased in 1895 by Martina Bergman-Österberg, who created a physical training college specialising in gymnastics for girls and young women. She is also credited for the introduction of the use of gymslips for women playing sports, and played a key role in the early development of netball.
Physical education continued on the site until 1986. We have a Learning Technology Centre which is a fabulous resource for both study and leisure.
