History
The 15.7-acre (64,000 m2) site for the school was purchased in 1957 for £3,810 by Hampshire County Council. Fleet Secondary Modern School, the earliest school in the town, moved into the site in 1960 and reopened as Court Moor School on May 11. At the time, the school had only buildings, 500 students and 20 teachers. Court Moor became a comprehensive school in 1974 and is part of the Hart school district.[1]
The school is adjacent to the Basingstoke Canal and part of its site is designated a nature conservation area. The school gate is narrow because it was originally intended to be the trade entrance. Local residents were worried about the consequences of having the intended main gate opening onto their estate and it was never widened.
The school operates a strict policy on uniform, whereby pupils must be seen to be wearing it in its entirety when outside of classes. Boys of the school must wear ties, but this is optional for girls.
Awards
A pupil that shows dedication to a sport may be awarded their colours when they reach upper school (years 10-11) . Colours come in three forms. The 1st stage is a Colours Commendation certificate. The 2nd stage is a Half-Colours certificate. The 3rd stage recognizes members of the school team with a sports team badge and, if the pupil is male, a colours tie. The tie is distinguished from the normal school tie by a green stripe that replaces the regular blue stripe.
Student Leadership Team
The school has a team of Year 11 students appointed by the headteacher who act as representatives for the school and support the school council. It is composed of Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Girl, Senior Prefects and members of the Student Council.
