Purpose-built and extending to 50 acres, the college farm at Rother Valley Campus, Dinnington, provides students within the Curriculum Area of Land Based Studies with a realistic environment to learn in.
With a range of small and large livestock, from rabbits and stick insects to sheep and pigs, students get to work with a variety of animals. The farm also boasts an animal house, dog grooming parlour, glasshouses and a professional floristry suite so that it can provide a balance with theory lessons in a number of subject areas such as animal care, horse care, floristry and horticulture. Staff and students who work on the farm look forward to welcoming new lambs onto the farm each year and in January 2006 there were celebrations as they welcomed into the world the first baby goats ever to be born on the Rother Valley Campus farm.
