Cantell School is a secondary comprehensive school in Bassett, Southampton. In 2013, Ofsted judged Cantell to be a 'Good' school. [1]
The school occupies the site that was previously home to Glen Eyre School. [2] Cantell was formed as an amalgamation of Hampton Park Secondary School and Glen Eyre Secondary School.[ citation needed ] In 1988 the school occupied an area of some 4 hectares (9.9 acres) and it was proposed that 0.1 hectares (0.25 acres) of this be sold off for housing. [3]
The School gained specialist status for Mathematics and Information and Communication Technology, in September 2003 and was known as Cantell Mathematics and Computing College until 2013, when the school returned to the original name of Cantell School.
Cantell Secondary received an Ofsted inspection in Autumn 2004 and was put into the special measures category because it was failing to give its students an acceptable standard of education. As a result, it received visits from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education to inspect its progress. The school came out of special measures after the June 2006 inspection.
