Dearne Valley College
Dearne Valley College (DVC) can trace its origins back to the Mechanics Institute in Wath. It first became a college of Further Education in 1976 when Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council established the Rockingham College of Further Education. It was renamed Dearne Valley College in September 1996 when a new £7.5 million development was opened on the reclaimed site of the former Manvers colliery.
The college provides a wide curriculum including higher education courses, adult courses, business training and much more.
Dearne Valley College serves the former coalfield communities of South East Barnsley, South West Doncaster and North Rotherham. The main college campus is at Manvers Park, with a smaller site established in the centre of Wath upon Dearne, close to the transport interchange called the Rockingham Centre.
