The Mountbatten School
Romsey, SO51 5SY · Hampshire · secondary school
12th 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 677 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 55.8 · 76 | 30% | 2.27 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.17 · 62 | 25% | 1.56 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.2 · 75 | 10% | 0.75 |
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 in 2024. In 2024/25, 55.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Training Orchestra, Community Choir, or Community Windband, and play football, netball, or rugby. Trips include a Sports Tour, DofE expeditions for Years 10 and 11, and Year 9 Geography fieldwork.
Getting in. There are 1458 pupils in a school with 1424 places, meaning it is over capacity by 34. 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 over capacity for new admissions? What support is available for pupils who fall behind in English and maths? How do the DofE trips prepare students for independent living?
