About Robert May's School

Robert May's School sits within Hampshire local authority, a secondary school for 11-16 year olds in the Hart borough. Among the 80 same-type schools across the county, it ranks 27th by Progress 8 score, placing it in the top third of Hampshire secondaries. Within Hart itself, it comes fourth out of five schools, though the local landscape includes strong performers such as Sparsholt College Hampshire, Lift Winton, and Thornden School, all of which post higher ranking scores. The school is a mixed, non-religious state school with no sixth form, and headteacher Rea Mitchell leads a roll of 1,319 pupils, just shy of its 1,350 capacity. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2012 when it was judged Good overall with Good leadership and management. That represents a shift from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009.
