Crofton School is a coeducational secondary school, located in Stubbington, Hampshire, England. The school has around 1200 students aged between 11 and 16 (years 7 to 11).[2] The school accepts pupils from the areas of: Stubbington, Hill Head, Titchfield, Peel Common, Gosport and Locks Heath.

Crofton opened in 1974 as a purpose-built mixed comprehensive school. The headteacher is Simon Harrison who was appointed in January 2017. Crofton was awarded Specialist Science Status in 2005 but this has since been revoked.[citation needed]

Crofton has two 'feeder' schools: Crofton Hammond Junior School and Crofton Anne Dale Junior School. Attendance at one of these feeder schools is a factor in admission to Crofton School.[3]

As of 2022, the school's most recent judgement by Ofsted is Good, following a short inspection in 2018 which confirmed the previous judgement from a full inspection in 2014.[4]

Previously a foundation school administered by Hampshire County Council,[5] in April 2023 Crofton School converted to academy status.[6] The school is now sponsored by the HISP Multi Academy Trust.[7]
