Hove Park School and Sixth Form Centre is a mixed comprehensive school cattering for students between the age of 11-18, located in Hove, East Sussex.

The school is part of the Leading Edge Partnership programme.

Hove Park is a Specialist Language College and it is one of a small number of schools to have been recognised nationally by the DFES as an example of excellence, innovation and achievement.

Ofsted report in 2010 says

'Hove Park is a caring and inclusive school that provides its students with a satisfactory standard of education.

GCSE results in 2009 were lower in relation to previous years and to national averages, particularly in English, and students did not make adequate progress.

However, the attainment of current Year 11 students is now in line with national expectations. Module results gained by current Year 11 students, as well as the school's own accurate tracking data, indicate that students' achievement in Key

Stage 4 is now satisfactory. Attainment in English has improved substantially. This is because school leaders have identified the causes of previous underachievement and successfully introduced measures to raise standards and improve students' progress, including that of students with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Lesson observations, including joint observations with the acting headteacher, confirm that students' learning and progress are now satisfactory overall and in many cases better

than expected given their starting points.'
