Henry Beaufort School

Winchester, SO22 6JJ · Hampshire · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
6.6/10 Above average

11th of 67 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 860 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 among them, against 7.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 54.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.34 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than peers nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9 out of 10 among them, against 7.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Home Learning Club or Rock2theBeat, play netball, football, or climb, and attend music lessons or the whole school production. Trips include visits to Legoland, Southampton Museum and Gallery, Portsmouth, Winchester University, Tile Barn, PGL, battlefields, and the Army Flying Museum. An after-school club is available.

Getting in. The school has 979 pupils in a capacity of 1015, leaving 36 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the Home Learning Club to improve their study habits? What specific support is offered to students aiming to raise their Progress 8 scores? How accessible are the after-school club facilities for pupils with transport difficulties?
