| TAUNTON'S COLLEGE SOUTHAMPTON |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The college | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Taunton's College is a Further Education College along Hill Lane, Southampton. It's where I did my A levels for two years, before coming to university. My sister has now just started her A level courses at Taunton's too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The students | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The students at Taunton's college are mainly between 16 and 19 years of age and most study for two years to gain three A levels. There are many local schools which feed pupils to Taunton's: Oaklands, Regents Park, Bellemoor and more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My course | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I took A levels in Biology, Chemistry and Pure Mathematics, in which I got BBC. I also did AS Statistics in the first year and AS German in the second year, in which I got an A and a B respectively. I also sat the General Studies paper and got an A. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The common | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The college happens to be situated right near Southampton Common which was lovely to visit during free lessons. During the Summertime there were always people playing football or something there. I also remember one message in the weekly notices about students drinking on the common - what those students get up to! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Music | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The college has an excellent and expanding music department, headed by Mrs Jane Higgins. During my time at Taunton's, I was in the choir. For my first Christmas there we sang Handel's Messiah. I enjoyed it a lot. The standard of the choir at Taunton's was very good, and I learnt a lot there which is helping me in the Choral Society at Bath University now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The teachers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'd like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Taunton's who taught me during my two years there, they deserve medals!
