''Borden Grammar School'' at Sittingbourne agreed to sell their property to this committee as soon as a new grammar school was built, but it was not until 1929 that ''Borden Grammar'' was occupied and its building adapted for ''Farm Institute'' purposes. Grove End Farm, Tunstall was purchased in July 1919 to be run as the Institute Farm. After the Second World War, the ''Kent Education Committee'' bought the Swanley property together with of land. Until 1949 the ''Horticulture Institute'' was used as a training centre in horticulture for ex-service personnel under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture. In September 1949 the ''Education Committee'' took possession and the ''Horticulture Institute'' was developed and run on parallel line to the ''Farm Institute''. In 1958 the two institutes were merged to form the ''Kent Farm and Horticulture Institute''. Although the two departments were apart, this was the first step in bringing the two together. In the spring of 1960, of land was purchased from Hadlow for the establishment of a combined Institute. The ''Agricultural Department'' moved from Sittingbourne to the new site in the summer of 1966, and the ''Horticultural Department'' in the summer of 1967. The Institute was then renamed ''Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture''. On 22 March 1968, His Royal Highness Prince Phillip the Duke of Edinburgh, officially opened the college. In June 2010, the college was graded ''"outstanding"'' by Ofsted. This result complemented the ''"outstanding"'' grade which the college had received in March 2009 for its care provision. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hadlow College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
