Facilities
On 1 September 1984, as a result of the reorganisation of Fareham's Secondary Schools, Fareham Park School became Henry Cort Secondary School and later Henry Cort Community College. Henry Cort was derived from the name of a man who was arguably the most distinguished person to be associated with Fareham's Industrial past. He was essentially a simple man whose visionary genius was exploited by others more cynical and worldly wise than himself.

The college has eleven fully networked ICT suites with over 400 computers linked to the internet; seminar rooms; a specialist Design Technology room, including an electronics Lab; a Food Technology kitchen; art and design rooms, including textiles; two sports halls; specialist language rooms; science laboratories, a learning resource centre; an all-weather pitch; and sizeable sports fields.
