History edit

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]
