According to the college website that's the only other service apart from the existing one from Hednesford. Midland Classic also starting a second route.
.
A number of routes are shown as worked by college minibus - do they have a PSV licence?

Don't know if they do, used to regularly see the coach from Stafford to Rodbaston in the morning outside the station but didn't see who ran that, and having not been to Stafford now since March I have no idea what the current situation is. The existing 813 from Swad is being changed and the 17 from Cannock is becoming the 817.

The coach which picks up from Stafford station in the morning goes to JCB Academy not Rodbaston.  It is run by Stantons.

19 can be used anytime, it just needs painting but it's mainly a spare decker should 17/20 come off the road
