Hamble Community Sports College is a Secondary School in Hamble-le-Rice; the school offers education to children between 11-16. Hamble College SkillsCentre opened September 2010 and is offering courses including Construction, Engineering, and Marine Engineering. Ian Knights retired at the end of term and the new position of Principal was given to Geraldine Haley-Gordon. Deputy Head Judith Chambers. The beginning of the 2008/09 school year brought a change to the way the school runs. The school is now arranged in a system which involves mixed-year mentor groups, with all students and teachers now part of one of the four communities. This now means that each mentor group consists of five students from each year, totalling 25 students. Every 'mentor group' must have at least one Senior Leader (Prefect) in it, of which there are approximately 60 in Year 11, spread roughly equally across the communities. There is also a Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl within each community; these are nominated before their Year 10 year comes to a close.
