History
Previously known as Wakeford Comprehensive School and latterly Staunton Park Community School, it gained specialist Sports College status and was renamed Staunton Community Sports College. It then became a foundation school administered by Hampshire County Council. The school converted to academy status on 1 September 2010 and was renamed Havant Academy, becoming the first academy in Hampshire. It is sponsored by the Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT).[2]
In 2013, Ofsted stated that "The academy is making reasonable progress towards the removal of special measures."[3] Havant Academy was rated 'Good' in most aspects in its Ofsted report of June 2015.[4]
As of February 2025, Havant Academy has declined into being 'Inadequate' once again in Ofsted standards.
