I am from a non-farming background, but have worked with horses for many years. I had the opportunity to work at a local farm during lambing season. I found it so interesting and exciting that I decided I wanted to learn more and broaden my knowledge of agriculture.
I love how practical our lessons are. We are able to be involved in a wide variety of different activities ranging from driving tractors to herding sheep on the South Downs. Our tutors are very encouraging and always help us to achieve our full potential. We have small class sizes which enable us to have lots of fun and learn at the same time!
For years 12 and 13 I aim to carry on at Plumpton College full time studying Level 3 Agriculture. At the moment I’m interested in going to University and sheep farming, but one of the amazing things about agriculture is how many different career options there are so my plans could change. One thing is for certain, and that is that coming to Plumpton College has made me 100% sure that I want a career in agriculture.
