Land Study Programme

Our vocational pathways are:

• Horticulture 
• Land and animal care
• Equine

This takes place in the campus grounds where we have a farm and a two acre vegetable garden. Animal care students are actively involved in all aspects of farm management and animal care. Our herd of Dexter cows was chosen for its size and suitability for handling by our students. The sheep and pigs provide further hands on experience. The students will learn about other aspects of farm management, including stock rotation, pasture management, field maintenance and egg production. Our gardens and orchards provide many of the vegetables and fruit used on site. This provides students with the ability to understand how their food arrives at the table, alongside developing practical skills needed in the workplace. Wakefield Riding for the Disabled is also based on site, giving students the opportunity to learn horse care and stable management as well as horse riding.
