In 1981, three individual colleges of arts, technology and adult education were merged into one. In August 2004 the college merged with Rother Valley College, becoming Rother Valley Campus (RVC) and is now known as Dinnington Campus (from 2014). RVC took its name from the Rother Valley which lies about five miles to the west, although the College does lie in the parliamentary constituency of the same name. The clock-towered building was built as a mining college by the Dinnington Colliery Company, and was opened in 1928 as the Chelmsford Mining and Technical Institute. By the turn of the 1960s it was known as Dinnington Technical College, and later adopted the name Rother Valley College. In the 1950s the college included a secondary technical programme; this was separated in 1963 and merged with the neighbouring secondary modern school to create Dinnington High School. 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「Rotherham College of Arts and Technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
