About Basingstoke College of Technology

Basingstoke College of Technology is a state-funded sixth-form college in the Hampshire local authority, serving students aged 16 to 99. It is one of 80 secondary-type schools in the county, and among its local peers, it sits behind Sparsholt College Hampshire, Lift Winton, and Thornden School in the LA's ranking. The college is mixed and has no religious character, with Anthony Bravo as headteacher. It operates as a boarding school and has a dedicated sixth-form centre, though it does not offer nursery provision. With a school capacity of 200, it is a relatively small institution, and its age range means it focuses entirely on post-16 education. The college is situated in Basingstoke and Deane, within the South East region, and its facilities include an astro turf, swimming pool, sports hall, gymnasium, art studios, and a chapel, alongside a dining hall and ICT suite.

Academically, the college's most recent data from 2023/24 shows a mixed picture. At key stage 5, the college had 16 pupils, with a value-added score of 0.18, placing it in the 'Average' progress banding. The average points per entry were 32.17, equivalent to a C+ grade, and the best three A-levels averaged 33.08 points, also a C+. No students achieved AAB or higher in at least two facilitating subjects. At key stage 4, the college's attainment 8 score was 35.8, and the EBacc average points score was 2.96, but no students entered the EBacc or achieved the basics measure at either the 9-4 or 9-5 threshold. Progress 8 data was not available. For context, the Hampshire LA average Progress 8 score is -0.17, so the college's lack of a Progress 8 figure makes direct comparison difficult, but its KS5 value-added is positive.

The college offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including clubs for orchestra, choir, coding, eco club, gardening, newspaper, Model UN, chess, film club, and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Sports provision covers dance, rugby, hockey, martial arts, football, gymnastics, athletics, rowing, and cross country. The college is a boarding school, which may appeal to families seeking a residential post-16 option. Given its small size and focus on 16-99 year olds, it is best suited to students looking for a more intimate sixth-form experience with a broad choice of clubs and sports, rather than a traditional school with younger years. Its facilities, including a swimming pool and sixth-form centre, support this offer. The college does not appear to be oversubscribed based on available data, so admission may be straightforward for eligible applicants.
