The Mountbatten School is an 11–16 secondary school located on Whitenap Lane in Romsey, Hampshire, England. The school opened in 1969 as a comprehensive school.
The school was founded by Earl Mountbatten on land that was originally part of the Broadlands estate. 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 use the crest was granted by Queen Elizabeth II. The current patron is his great granddaughter The Hon. Alexandra Knatchbull.
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.
