The Romsey School

School overview

The Romsey School is a secondary school serving Romsey, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 1,130 pupils aged 11 to 16 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 46.8 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 1.6 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of secondary schools nationally.

48% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 73% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 95% of the families who made The Romsey School their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 5.26 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. After Year 11, 95% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 11.9%. There are about 17.7 pupils per teacher. The Romsey School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
