Bournville College’s story started with a revolutionary concept, when George Cadbury concerned about the wellbeing of their workers, decided that physical education classes during work time should be made compulsory. Classes started in September 1913 in the Stirchley Institute – and so did the story of Bournville College. The experiment gained national recognition when the 1918 Fisher Education Act made provision for school leavers to attend day continuation schools for vocational training. The College has changed in so many ways since 1913 but its core values still remain. It’s always been about innovation, partnerships, inspiration and vision.” Said Mr Cave. Sir Dominic Cadbury, grandson of George Cadbury commented: “My grandfather was an intensely practical man and he was interested in vocational education more than purely academic education. The values of the Day Continuation School were around the opportunity for youngsters to achieve their potential in many, many ways. They had the potential to do much more in business, take more responsibility and have much more fulfilling working and personal lives. If we look back to my grandfather I see this is a great legacy to the Bournville College of today.”
