About the School
The school is situated in Romsey, a very pleasant abbey town in the southern Test Valley. Opened in 1969, it is one of the largest and most successful co‑educational comprehensives in Hampshire, with an intake of 300 and currently 1,466 students on roll. The school serves a predominantly rural catchment area extending from the boundary of Southampton to the boundary of Wiltshire and is very popular and heavily oversubscribed.
The school is a Single Academy Trust and has eight faculties with approximately 80 FTE teaching staff. The pastoral structure is based on five year groups. Since becoming an academy on 1 April 2011, an extensive refurbishment programme has continued, ensuring departments are very well‑resourced and accommodated. The school consistently achieves strong GCSE outcomes and was rated ‘good’ by Ofsted in January 2024, with many aspects of the school’s work recognised as ‘first class’. It maintains a strong international ethos and offers numerous opportunities for staff development through leadership, pedagogy and pastoral pathways.
