Barton Peveril Sixth Form College

Barton Peveril Sixth Form College is an Ofsted 'Outstanding' sixth form college located in Eastleigh, Hampshire, UK with approximately 5,000 students, aged 16–18. It is part of the Wessex Group of Sixth Form Colleges.

Originally Barton Peveril School was a temporary school, founded in 1904 by the local County Education Authority, to meet the demands of the new railway town of Eastleigh. It had two long-serving head teachers, with Miss Annie Smith at the reins from the start until her retirement in 1936 and then Mr Harry Newnham Reed Moore (1897–1991), who again only left to retire in 1963. He was succeeded by Mr R. E. Bowyer.

As the school expanded, larger premises were required, with a house named Barton Peveril purchased by 1918, which later gave its name to the institution officially recognised as Eastleigh County Secondary School, Barton Peveril. In 1932 there was another move, this time to a building in Desborough Road that had previously been used for a school, with the move marked by the name Eastleigh County High School. In 1957, the school moved to its current site and returned its original name of Barton Peveril School.

The last intake to the state coeducational grammar school was in 1972. Since 1973, only sixth form students have been enrolled.

The current principal is Rob Temple, preceded by Jonathan Prest who was principal from 2008 to 2022. Prest was preceded by Godfrey Glyn OBE who held the post from 1996 to 2008. Peter Happé was principal between 1980 and 1989.

The campus, comprising six buildings and a library, is situated in the south of Hampshire. The Chestnut, Hampshire, Mountbatten, Nobel, Peveril, Rose, and Science Centre buildings each host a collection of the college’s academic qualifications.

The site is equidistant from Eastleigh and Southampton Airport Parkway railway stations, both of which are within walking distance.

In 2002 there was an £11.5 million building transformation project.
