About this school's place in the register
St Vincent College is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 145229. The register records it as a academy 16-19 converter, in the group the Department calls academies. It is part of LIGHTHOUSE LEARNING TRUST, a trust whose schools share governance and, usually, safeguarding policy. Its UK provider reference number is 10065835. The register was last checked on 23 September 2026.
Its phase of education is 16 plus. The statutory age range is 16 to 19, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed. At the last school census 0 pupils were on roll, and 0 percent of them were eligible for free school meals, a figure the report uses only to describe the catchment, never the school.
The school is in England, at postcode PO12 4QA. Its grid reference is easting 460967, northing 100437, which is latitude 50.8003 and longitude -1.1362. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the routes to the nearest transport and shops, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.
St Vincent College sits in the Hampshire local authority area, which has 616 open establishments in the register. The local authority is the body that publishes the local safeguarding partnership arrangements, the threshold document and the early help offer that a school's child protection policy refers to, so the same authority context applies to every school in Hampshire.
The nearest schools in the register to St Vincent College are Oarsome Chance (about 0 metres away), Newtown Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School (about 270 metres away), St John's, Gosport Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School (about 630 metres away), Leesland Church of England Controlled Infant School (about 730 metres away) and Leesland Church of England Controlled Junior School (about 780 metres away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Several schools within walking distance of each other share the same streets, crossings, parks and shops, so the context described for one usually applies to its neighbours too.
What the report for St Vincent College contains
An annual report, written for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, that reads the public record for the environment around this school and says what it means in the language of Keeping Children Safe in Education and contextual safeguarding. Each chapter is mapped to the policy paragraph, the governors' annual report or the inspection question it evidences. The recorded picture at the gate comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.
- The recorded picture at the gate. Police-recorded incidents within a short walk, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets a child crosses rather than as a score, and turned into the context paragraph the policy asks for.
- Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a DSL can and cannot read into them.
- Places and routes where risk sits. Parks, shops, transport stops and underpasses on the way in, drawn from the data rather than from reputation.
- Road danger at the gate. Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists on the surrounding roads, with what a School Street request needs.
- Air quality and catchment deprivation. The neighbourhood statistics that shape the context, printed with their limits.
- Policy paragraph, governor paragraph and inspector questions. Ready to paste, answered from the findings above.
With the report comes the insight dashboard for St Vincent College: the trend by month, every category, the streets that recur and the comparison with Hampshire and the national picture, live for the year.
