Our history

 

Our roots can be traced back to 1853, when Rotherham’s first School of Science and Art was set up. The college got its current name when Rotherham College of Technology merged with Rotherham College of Arts and Community Studies in 1981. In 2004, we merged with Rother Valley College in Dinnington and we acquired Rotherham Managing Agency from the local authority.
