About Calthorpe Park School

Calthorpe Park School's headline metrics stand out clearly against the Hampshire local authority average for secondary schools. Its Progress 8 score of 0.24 places it well above the LA average of -0.17, meaning pupils here make significantly more academic progress than their peers across the county. This puts the school in the 'above average' national banding for progress, and within Hart it ranks first out of five state secondaries. The Attainment 8 score of 55.2 further reinforces this picture of strong performance, with 81.3% of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths. For a large non-selective state school with 1,644 pupils, these results are impressive and suggest a consistent focus on driving standards across the board.
