Riseholme College

Riseholme College

Riseholme College is a rural science college of Further and Higher Education in Lincolnshire.

It is a part of the University of Lincoln and is based at Riseholme near Lincoln, with a smaller campus at Holbeach in southern Lincolnshire. Its third campus at Caythorpe near Grantham closed in September 2002.

It was known as the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture before being renamed in 2007.

The college is a Centre of Vocational Excellence for land-based business and environmental management. Courses include animal management, equine science, forestry and arboriculture, and horticultural studies. The Holbeach campus is itself a CoVE, in food manufacturing technology.

History

The school began life as Riseholme Farm Institute in 1949, becoming, in 1966, the Lindsey College of Agriculture. In 1980, the Lindsey college merged with its counterparts in the parts of Holland and Kesteven, and the combined county-wide college of agriculture was taken over by De Montfort University in 1994, before transferring to the University of Lincoln in 2001.
