Court Moor School is one of two Secondary School s in the town of Fleet , in Hampshire ( UK ). The age of the pupils is 11-16. The school was last inspected by OFSTED in 2000, when it had 1045 pupils, and the independent inspectors reported that it was "a very good school which is oversubscribed", providing strong and supportive leadership, a very good quality of teaching, and very good value for money. The Department for Education and Skills (DFES) records that in 2000 some 70% of all pupils leaving the school that year had attained five or more GCSE pass results, well above the national average of 49%. For GCSE and GNVQ attainment, the BBC's league table for 2002 ranked the school 25th out of 85 in the area and 857 of 3571 in England and Wales. HISTORY The 15.7 acre site for the school was purchased in 1957 for £3,810 by Hampshire County Council. Fleet Secondary Modern School, the earliest school in the town, moved into the site in 1960, and reopened as Court Moor School on May 11. At the time the school had only buildings, 500 students and 20 teachers. Court Moor became comprehensive school in 1974 and is part of the Hart School District . NOTES The school is adjacent to Basingstoke Canal and part of its site is designated a nature conservation area. The school gate is narrow because it was originally intended to be merely the trade entrace. Local residents were worried about the consequences of having the intended main gate opening onto their estate, and it was never opened. EXTERNAL LINKS |
