   I am an ex-student of HSDC Havant campus and have just heard that a relation of mine was rejected, despite already recieving an offer email confirming their place. They were told that they "didn't have relevant qualifications." Reminds me of my Havant days where I was rejected from an A-Level course for not have "relevant GSCEs" and I had to march in to show admin my GSCEs myself. Absolutely pathetic. Attitude in this place is appalling and I would not consider sending any child of mine here.

   Really gone down hill over the years. My daughter quit after her second year as she was fed up with lectures calling in sick every week and only telling her 30mins before lessons even tho she just traveled to get there. Poor teacher. Poor support and nothing is ever actioned after we complain or have worries on level of teaching! My daughter feels she’s wasted two years of her life trying her hardest to stick to these poorly managed course. I’d recommend trying a better collage which is my honest opinion.

   Just read an article about Claire Scott discriminating against a black teacher, I would have thought we were more evolved by now - come on! Obviously some more than others. Disgraceful!

   Just finished reading an article in The Times on the treatment of a teacher who happened to a black and she was assessed by 2 women Claire Scott & Stephanie Richardson. From what the article stated, it suggested that the black teacher in question did not promote 'Equality & Diversity' enough during her teaching hours & also continually within her role. Very disappointed to see that in this current climate in the UK education system this discriminatory behaviour is still ongoing. I understand that this was the only teacher/staff member from the black community who had demonstrated that she was skilled enough to do the role at HSDC. Perhaps students who are from the BAME population should do some research on this college before before thinking of applying here. If they treat black staff nemembers in this way then students who are of black or Asian descent may not get fair treatment in this hostile environment. We have family members who are looking to move in the areaa and now we are put off this college after seeing this article.

   What a friendly group of people, really nice experience as a parent. Great with my daughter who has anxiety. I can finally see a future for her. Now at the end of November, still going strong. Any anxieties or worries are dealt with swiftly. Really very happy with this college!

It is what you make it, thanks for the lessons and help even if I was a little madam at times and didn't help myself. It is very much appreciated and I highly recommend this college!!!

   It's OK. Teachers were very good, but the bus options going to the college are very limited. Took me about an hour getting to college when I lived 5 miles away, and about an hour and a half getting back using buses. I did feel that the mental health services left a lot to be desired though. Teachers were usually much better dealing with that sort of stuff than the actual counselor people.
