About Weston Secondary School

Weston Secondary School is a mixed, non-denominational state secondary in Southampton, serving 738 pupils aged 11 to 16. In a local authority with 15 secondary schools, it sits outside the top tier of performers. The highest-ranked peer in the area is Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton, followed by St Anne's Catholic School, which is also the nearest school rated Outstanding, at 4.4 km away. Cantell School is another local comparator, though its ranking score is notably lower. Weston’s most recent Ofsted inspection graded it as Requires Improvement, placing it below the three Outstanding schools in the LA. For families weighing options in Southampton, Weston is not the standout choice on paper, but its position in the local landscape means it may still suit those prioritising proximity or specific non-academic offerings over a top inspection rating.
