Itchen Sixth Form College - Southampton

Marcus McCauley

I am, at the time of writing this, enrolled in Itchen College (2023-2026).

Since joining in September 2023, I've found Itchen to be an incredible and well-meaning facility. The staff, especially the support staff, are incredibly helpful; this Includes when I got support to get over my communication barrier, wherein I couldn't talk for the first few weeks.

With the education and preparedness I received, I managed to get my GCSE English grade up from a 3 to a 6, within the span of being at Itchen College for barely 3 months.

The opportunities presented to students is remarkable; where for example students can join the Student Ambassador team to help with Open Day/Evening events. I myself serve currently as a Student Ambassador, and I work on the Board of Governors as a Student Representative.

In conclusion, the College has a welcoming environment, friendly faces, a good sense of community, and good educational facilities; regardless of the subject or level type.

Was told by people that this college is great for mental health and from my experience and a friends current experience this is a lie. Straight away from the get go the teachers were more concerned of my attendance rather than my mental health so I ended up having to leave. Now in this current moment in time , my friend has been struggling recently with her mental health , the teachers are no help at all and have just put her on a red case which basically means she has to turn up to 100% of her lessons otherwise she gets booted out from her courses. Such a shame as I believed this college would finally be somewhere I could go to feel safe and supported but clearly not.

I am very happy I did two level 2 because I work in an old people's home as a Care Assistant. Very nice teachers and very helpful when I had a problem. Thank you

All three of my children have attended the public services course. and have all got really great results . They did many life skills and had the chance to take part in some major events such as the military field gun event, comps against military and so much more . The staff are great with them and I am pleased with the results they got . The college offers many courses and has opened its doors to those from other countries to study.

Well organised and polite staff. Tutors were very patient , took their time to explain, guide and support students in their decisions. Approachable and very helpful in the process. I am grateful for your help. Thank you.

Don't know where to begin. Enrolment was successful however I was deceived about my enrolment letter as it stated I would continue second year of a level 3 course, I was happy about that. Of course then the difficult situation occurred - I was told at my enrolment I failed the course, alright I must admit I was lacking, but NOT hugely like it was manageable to finish by September start. It's a shame though, it's not a great impression for a returning student. But Itchen does have a good student support, without them I doubt some students would have any guidance and perseverance in them to strive in work. Canteen foods are slightly overpriced, student centre gets busy through the day, average college.
