Park Community School
Havant, PO9 4BU · Hampshire · secondary school
56th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.1/10 against 210 of them, against 0.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 13.9 · 1 | 30% | 0.03 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.27 · 1 | 25% | 0.02 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 28.3 · 0 | 10% | 0.00 |
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, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 13.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 28.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.27 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.1 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Coding, Robotics, Greenpower, Jet project, Rap project, and Rock to the beat. Trips include visits to Butser Ancient Farm, the Natural History Museum, Stonehenge, New Delhi, China, New York, and Poland. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1006 pupils in a school with 950 places, meaning it is over capacity by 56. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 56 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils who start below the national median in attainment? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
