Rutland County College

[2] In June 2017 the remaining provision was also closed and the college ceased to operate.

In autumn 2009 Rutland County Council announced that Casterton Business and Enterprise College (an 11-16 community college) would take responsibility, in partnership with the County Council and Tresham, for managing the college and would provide 100 sixth form places at its Great Casterton site in addition to Oakham.

[6][7][8] The second phase of the proposal included moving to a new site[9] and in November 2010 it was announced that the College would relocate to occupy the former EEF Conference Centre in Barleythorpe in September 2012.

[10] The College prospectus described a new post-16 programme with a range of courses including ‘A Level’ subjects, the new 14-19 diplomas, apprenticeships, or career specific ‘vocational’ training.

Former and participating students formed the 'Hand-stitched Theatre Company' who were rated four stars at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
