The Mountbatten School is an 11-16 secondary school located on Whitenap Lane in Romsey, Hampshire, England. The school opened in 1969〔(Hampshire County Council Buildings Land and Procurement Panel report )〕 as a comprehensive school. The school was founded by Earl Mountbatten on land that was originally part of the Broadlands estate. Lord Mountbatten was the school's founder patron. Lord Mountbatten's accolades include Viceroy of India, 1st Sea Lord and, additionally, was involved in an aborted plot to overthrow the democratically elected labour government of Harold Wilson. The current patron is his great granddaughter The Hon. Alexandra Knatchbull. Lord Mountbatten's personal crest was adopted as the school's badge at his suggestion. Containing the Order of the Garter's motto, 'Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense', special permission to the use the crest was granted by Queen Elizabeth II. Pupils are divided into five school houses named after ships of the Royal Navy with particular association to Lord Mountbatten: HMS Wishart, Daring, Kelly, Illustrious, and HMS Lion. The school is an 11-16 co-educational academy, situated in the Parish of Romsey Extra. The majority of pupils are drawn from Romsey and Southampton districts including Chilworth, North Baddesley, Nursling, and Rownhams. As of 2012, there are 1,420 pupils. The school has a standard Year-7 intake of 284. The linked primary schools are Halterworth Community Primary School, North Baddesley Junior School, Nursling Church of England Primary School, Romsey Primary School, Rownhams St. John's Church of England Primary School, and Wellow School. The school attracts a significant proportion of its pupils from out-of-catchment non-linked primary schools. Headteachers of the Mountbatten School have been: Mr. E. P. M. Chesterton (1969-?) Mr. H. J. Winkle (?-1985) Mr. G. Wilkinson (1985-1991) Mrs. L. K. Morffew (1991-2007) Mrs. H.
