The Hamble School
Southampton, SO31 4NE · Hampshire · secondary school
25th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.5/10 against 870 of them, against 5.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 52.6 · 70 | 46% | 3.22 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.18 · 36 | 38% | 1.39 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.2 · 58 | 15% | 0.90 |
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, 52.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.18 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally starting from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Advanced Science, Chess, and Drama, play sports like football and tennis, and visit places such as Berlin and the Science Museum. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 1139 pupils in a capacity of 1152, leaving 13 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 who are falling behind in Progress 8? With only 13 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main timetable?
