About Havant Academy
Havant Academy sits within Hampshire’s large state secondary landscape, where 80 schools of its type serve the county. Among them, only three hold an Outstanding rating, placing the school in a context where Good is a solid, common benchmark. The school’s closest ranked peers in the local authority are Sparsholt College Hampshire, Lift Winton, and Thornden School, all of which score higher on the local ranking index. Havant Academy, led by headteacher Victoria Dillon-Thiselton, is a mixed 11-16 secondary with 534 pupils. Its religious character is listed as not applicable, and it operates as a state-funded school in the borough of Havant. For families weighing options in this part of the South East, the school represents a mainstream choice within a competitive local system, where the majority of secondaries are rated Good or lower and only a handful achieve the top grade.
