Schumacher College is a college for ecological studies offering postgraduate and undergraduate programmes, research degrees, short courses and a practical agroecology residency.

The programmes had been due to start on 18 September, but were put on hold by the trust, which also operates Dartington Arts School in Totnes.

It had said students were “understandably concerned” by the delay, which came about following a review of its operations over the summer, which was aiming to operate the institution on a more sustainable approach”.

The trust said it will continue to formulate realistic options for a way forward for Schumacher College and “these options are now being progressed to test feasibility”.

“Although this work is still ongoing, we are confident that it is no longer necessary to ‘pause’ learning,” the spokesperson added.

“We would like to thank our partners and stakeholders for their support which has enabled us to reduce the course postponement to just one day.”

The work was led by?Lord?Triesman, the chair of trustees, the trustee board, and Robert Fedder, the interim chief executive.

Schumacher College is based on the historic Dartington Estate near Totnes, Devon.
