Richard Huish College

I'm currently in my A2 year at Richard Huish, and I can say that attending this college has been one of the best experiences of my life! I came from a community secondary school outside of Taunton, and so although I had a group of friends make the transition to Sixth Form with me, due to different course choices I found myself alone in nearly all of my classes. However, I found that this was not a problem - others were in the same situation and the staff mixed the classes up to get the students to know each other and I quickly made friends on all my courses. Also, although the student body is quite large, it seems as if everyone knows everyone else, and if not they ...  Read the complete review

I have been going to Richard Huish College in Taunton for a while now and it has been brilliant. The fourth best college in the country and one of the best for sports facilities.

Huish is one of only 2 colleges in Taunton, and therefore it is the receipient of most ...  Read the complete review

I'm a Lower 6th student here, and I gotta admit its not too shabby. They offer almost every A Level under the sun, [yep - you can take IT and Computing seperately!] and it's private, but state-funded... so yep - you got it right - don't have to pay! Well, you do have to pay £40 entry fees, plus about £20 for the exams, and another £30 or so for other textbooks depending on which course you take. Note however that THEY DONT TELL YOU THIS - the original spiel is "£40 covers everything". It's close to the town centre, theres a footpath direct to town or theres the "G" bus that goes town>college and back every 20 ...  Read the complete review
