In 1919 Rodbaston estate was sold from a private owner to South Staffordshire Council thus changing the role of the hall from a family residence to become a college.
During the First World War, food shortages had almost brought the country to its knees and the Ministry of Agriculture recognised that each county would need an agricultural institute to help promote farming and food production. Rodbaston was chosen as one of the first of four institutes formed in the country.
Rodbaston College is now the go-to place for agriculture, horticulture, animal care, veterinary care, equine and countryside management. It’s not just a landbased college however, they also offer courses within trades such as plumbing, automotive, gas engineering and construction.
