Havant College is a large sixth form college located near the centre of Havant, in south-east Hampshire.
Havant Sixth Form College currently has approximately 1100 full-time students, recruited from a 30-mile radius.
The current site was originally occupied by Havant Grammar School that moved here from Middle Park Way, Havant where it shared accommodation with the then Broomfield Secondary School (now Park Community School). However, with the institution of the comprehensive school system, the Grammar School ceased to exist and became a sixth form college in 1974.
Havant Sixth Form College was last inspected in May 2011. At that inspection, overall effectiveness, outcomes for learners, leadership and management and capacity to improve were judged to be satisfactory. The quality of provision, including teaching and learning, was judged to be good. In the Ofsted monitoring visit of January 2012, the College was judged to be making 'reasonable progress' in all aspects of its provision.
