The school began life as Riseholme Farm Institute in 1949, becoming, in 1966, the Lindsey College of Agriculture. In 1980, the Lindsey college merged with its counterparts in the parts of Holland and Kesteven, and the combined county-wide college of agriculture was taken over by De Montfort University in 1994, before transferring to the University of Lincoln in 2001.
