Plumpton College

Since the original 400-acre College farm was bought back in 1919, Plumpton College has certainly seen a lot of changes. Now farming around 2,500 acres in conjunction with several landlords, our outstanding estate has grown to become one of the leading centres for land-based education in the UK. There’s certainly never been a more exciting time to work and train in the land-based sector. Exciting courses, lots of employment potential and loads to inspire you – we’ve got it all going on here at Plumpton. We have so many different courses to fit in with your lifestyle, plus all the support you’ll need to achieve your career goals. Come and discover everything we have to offer at our perfect natural environment and outstanding facilities across all of our sites.

Our seven year strategy, 2017 - 2024, sets out our vision and priorities to support those land based and rurally located businesses to have a strong talent pipeline of well qualified individuals and the resources and training to continually develop their existing workforce.

The changes taking place across the sectors that we serve mean that students will need to be equipped with a different and ever more technically advanced skills set in the future. As an ambitious organisation with high aspirations and expectations, this provides a significant opportunity for the college to play a leading role in shaping and informing land based and wider rural sectoral change through our education and training and be seen as a progressive and highly valued organisation locally, regionally and nationally.

At Plumpton, we know that our role isn't just limited to helping you to gain skills academically. It's also about helping you to develop personally; preparing you for life as a successful and responsible citizen. So we make sure that we promote these important values to all of our students.
