Crofton School
About Crofton School
Crofton School is a mixed state secondary for 11 to 16 year olds in Fareham, within the Hampshire local authority. Hampshire is a large county with 80 secondary schools, and Crofton sits among a competitive group of local peers. The top-ranked school in the area by our analysis is Sparsholt College Hampshire, followed by Lift Winton and then Thornden School. Crofton itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, which places it in the majority of Hampshire secondaries — only three schools in the county are rated Outstanding. The school is led by headteacher Simon Harrison and currently educates 1,103 pupils. Its position in the local landscape is solid but not at the very top; it is a good option for families seeking a strong, non-selective state school within the Fareham area, particularly those who want a school with a broad range of facilities and activities.
