Rolle College

[1] Famous alumni include Elisabeth Frink, Elinor Jenkins, and Edith Helen Pratt.

In 1988, Rolle College became part of Polytechnic South West, and in 1990 was absorbed into the University of Plymouth.

[7] The decision to relocate the campus was controversial with past and present students, staff and the local community.

[8] Plans were drawn up in conjunction with University of Plymouth to retain part of the site for a mixture of uses including educational and vocational training, business incubation, and community facilities; the plans included disposal of a significant part of the site for housing development.

Negotiations appeared to be proceeding well (though slowly), when University of Plymouth suddenly announced, on 1 September 2016, that contracts had been exchanged with the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education, under which the academy would acquire the entire site and relocate there from its existing premises in Exeter.
