This was one i did a few months ago and in fact was the last before taking an enforced sabatical. I originally was going to another site with my regular partner (not in a gay way !) but at the last minute I was solo and decided to check this cracking place out and glad that i did. It made for a very easy explore and those that know me are aware of how reluctant I am on solo explores. This was quite a large site and seems to have suffered with cable thefts recently as it is due to be demolished. A brief History and then the pictures..

Rutland County College is a post-16 (or sixth-form) college, based mainly in Oakham, Rutland, England. In September 2012 it opened on a new site in Barleythorpe on the outskirts of Oakham.

Originally called Rutland Sixth Form College, it was built on the site of the former Rutland Girls' Grammar School. It was incorporated into Tresham College in August 2000, changing its name to Rutland College.

In 2009 Tresham Institute announced its intention to withdraw from Oakham. As Tresham owns the site and assets, it is selling the existing buildings and land, leaving the local community to find a new site and the capital to build a new 16-19 college. 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 The second phase of the proposal included moving to a new site and in November 2010 it was announced that the College would relocate to occupy the EEF Conference Centre in Barleythorpe in September 2012.

The College prospectus describes 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.

The College was judged Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2010.

That must have been a quick "revision" to the chernobyl tape, consider the disaster happened in April the same year!
