Queen Mary's College
About Queen Mary's College
Queen Mary's College sits within the Hampshire local authority as a state-funded, mixed sixth-form college for students aged 16 to 19, serving the Basingstoke and Deane area. Among the 80 secondary-type schools in the county, it competes with well-regarded peers such as Sparsholt College Hampshire, Lift Winton, and Thornden School, which rank as the top three in the local context. The college is led by headteacher Mark Henderson and operates with a school capacity of 300, though it also offers nursery provision and boarding, making it an unusual hybrid in the state sector. Its religious character is listed as not applicable, and the campus includes a chapel among its facilities, alongside a swimming pool, tennis courts, astro turf, and music rooms. This combination of academic focus and broad amenities positions the college as a distinctive option for post-16 students in Hampshire, particularly those seeking a more residential or extended-day experience within a state setting.
