Level 2 Agriculture

Brooksby College is home to a working mixed arable and livestock farm, with students getting involved with every apect of the animal and crop husbandry process. We have our very own flock of sheep and herd of cows, with busy lambing and calving seasons to get involved with every year. We're also proud to run an innovative agroforestry project, through which students learn about sustainability and regenerative agriculture - preparing you to be at the forefront of the industry.

Modules include:

Estate Skills

Machinery

Livestock

Work Experience

Improvement of British Habitats

There is also an opportunity to develop your understanding of plant and soil science, and to learn business management within the land-based industries.

Our Agriculture students also have the opportunity to enter regional and national competitions, as well as attending high profile events such as the Uppingham and Melton Fat Stock Shows and more.

4 GCSEs at grade 3 or above including English OR Level 1 in a relevant Land-based subject and Entry 3 Functional Skills in English.

Upon successful completion of this Level 2 course, students may progress onto a Level 3 land-based course. Alternatively, students may wish to progress onto an apprenticeship or into employment within the industry. Previously, our Agriculture students have gone on to work as shepherds, herdsmen, tractor operators, agricultural representatives, estates managers and teachers.
