The school roll is rising to 1100 but is unlikely to increase further. The Cabinet Office recently awarded Court Moor School the Charter Mark for excellence in public service. The school has a pleasant situation with its own playing fields bordering on the Basingstoke Canal. It is a major centre for continuing education and organises a very large programme of adult education classes, held mainly in the evenings. A separate youth centre and a water activities centre are located on the school site.
Parents are generally very supportive of the school and have high expectations for their children.
The school's catchment area is predominantly middle-class and relatively affluent but it includes a number of pockets of social housing and two military estates. The majority of pupils live within walking distance of the school. The school enjoys an intake of pupils whose abilities are well above the national average. Court Moor School was selected in 1991 by Hampshire education inspectors to participate in the Successful Schools Project, based at the University of Keele. The school is over-subscribed and currently has approximately 1093 pupils on roll.
