Plumpton College, East Sussex was honoured to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to the college on 7th July 2026 as part of its centenary year celebrations.

Her Majesty has strong links to both the college and the local area and is Patron of the Plumpton College Charitable Foundation and WineGB.

Recognized as Charity of the Year 2023 

The South of England Agricultural Society honoured our commitment to removing educational barriers.

Two trusts support the charity

The Southover Trust and Sheila Coates Foundation recently supported the Charitable Foundation with grants to purchase sensory chairs that are specially designed to help autistic people stay focused, calm and comfortable by supporting their sensory needs, by offering the movement students need to stay alert and pay attention, in a safe and non-disruptive way.

Field trips arranged by the college are a vital part of any course, supporting personal development, confidence and experience. Despite financial challenges at home, Paul* was determined not to miss out on a field trip linked to his Outdoor Education course. With a Foundation grant and his own contribution, he was able to participate and continue making the most of his studies.
