The new school is called Cavendish College and it’s colorful, lively, and home to many characters that we can’t wait for you to meet.

Cavendish College is definitely a far cry from Moordale Secondary School, making us all want to enroll as soon as possible. But can we actually visit Cavendish College? Or is this yet another fictional school that we can only visit in our imaginations? We answer your burning questions below.

Is Cavendish College real or fake?

According to The Express, Cavendish College is a real college as far as the name goes. However, the location in which Sex Education season 4 is filmed isn’t where the real-life institution is actually located.

The media outlet reports that the fourth and final season was filmed in St. Fagans National History Museum Coach in Cardiff, Wales and Orchard Car Park, whereas the real Cavendish College was located in London, England before being indefinitely shut down in 1892. The institution is now known as Homerton College in the University of Cambridge.

As far as St. Fagans National History Museum Coach, this is a museum that you can certainly visit anytime you want and best believe you will have a great time. The museum has a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Google, with most visitors hailing the museum for its gorgeous scenery and vibrant greenery. Visitors also report that there are tons of exhibitions that are very intriguing and engaging.
