"It was a big step going from secondary school to college. However, Richard Taunton made it easy for me and I am thriving in my subjects! I take part in many of the extra-curricular activities on offer and I am also President of the Student Union, which is great for learning new skills and will look good on my CV. Coming to Richard Taunton was the right decision for me and I’m sure it will be for you too!"

"I spent three years at St Vincent College and I can say quite genuinely I enjoyed every one of them. While also leaving with a good footing for University, I found an enhanced self-motivation because St Vincent taught me that with anything, it’s about the effort you put into it. Classes were fun because I was engaged. Teachers were motivational because I wanted to do well. Extra-curricular activities gave a boost to my UCAS and CV because I committed fully to them."

"I came here because it’s a friendly college and a great environment to learn in. The Art department is incredible; they teach us in-depth techniques and you get to work in large scale, which I would never have experienced otherwise."

"I would never have been equipped for a degree if it wasn’t for the work ethic I gained whilst I was at college. It was all very hard work, but has turned out to be so rewarding.”

"The facilities and equipment in the new music block really impressed me. There’s so many opportunities to get involved in Performing Arts. I’d definitely recommend the college for its friendly atmosphere, personal approach and the fact you get to know lots of people."

"During my 2 years at St Vincent College, I studied Maths, Further Maths, English Literature and Language A levels. I had the best time at St Vincent, my lessons were fun, and the staff were so friendly and willing to help. Whilst at college, I was a student ambassador which was one of my favourite things as I loved helping at events. "
