John Hanson Community School
Andover, SP10 3PB · Hampshire · secondary school
37th 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 927 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3/10 among them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.3 · 38 | 30% | 1.16 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.28 · 29 | 25% | 0.72 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.5 · 37 | 10% | 0.37 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted (inspected 2024-05). In 2024/25, 39.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.28 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally similar peers. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join art clubs, play netball and football, and travel to the New Forest, Paris, Normandy, Munich, New York, and ski destinations. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 987 pupils in a school with 980 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 7-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is offered to pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? How does the curriculum balance academic rigour with the extensive trip programme?
