Students and staff were visibly shocked as members of the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service worked to cut College Students free from a mangled car in the car park on Monday. However this was not the scene of a major incident but was all part of a crash demonstration and extrication designed to show students what can happen if they drive recklessly and become involved in an accident.

Totton students celebrated yet another record year after the average point score per student increased again for the fourth consecutive, successful year. The average Point Score measures student’s success at AS, A level and level 3 key skills and allows comparisons to be made between institutions. This criterion is particularly important to universities and therefore to students as it forms the basis of the University entrance criteria.

Totton College Economics students were recently privileged to visit the Houses of Parliament and to meet the Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling during a visit to Downing Street, London. The visit arranged through Totton College’s Business Department enabled A2 and AS level students to ask the Chancellor directly questions regarding the economy. Originally it was feared that they would not get to meet the Chancellor as he was due to travel to Davos on official business, however thanks to a last minute cancellation the meeting went ahead.
