Academics

Bohunt School is also one of the few secondary schools which holds a weekly 'school meeting' (an assembly), in which the whole school celebrates achievements and successes.

Language College

Bohunt is designated a Language College which means that it specialises in modern foreign languages and all pupils take at least one to GCSE with many taking two. It offers Spanish, German, French, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin.

Catchment

Bohunt's main intake comes mostly from four schools known as the 4-16 Partnership. These are Liss Junior School, Liphook Church of England (controlled) Junior School, Greatham Primary School and Grayshott Primary School. As a popular and oversubscribed school Bohunt also draws from many other primaries in Hampshire, Surrey, and Sussex.
