Cams Hill School is a medium-sized mixed secondary school, with five tiers of entry (ages 11-16), located in Shearwater Avenue in Fareham, England. Along with The Henry Cort Community College and Neville Lovett Community School, it is one of the three main state schools which serve the town of Fareham, Hampshire. The school is a specialist Science College and has academy status.

The school attracted national media attention in 2002, when headmaster David Wilmot recruited teachers at a nearby Sainbury's supermarket. He told The Daily Telegraph that he had struggled to recruit and retain newly qualified teachers.[1] The recruitment crisis was highlighted as a "major concern" in an OFSTED report later that year.[2] The school had an OFSTED inspection in 2007 and was reported as a "Good School" with outstanding features. During an additional inspection in music during October 2008, the school was graded "good" for music provision.[3]

As a science specialist school, it offers its more capable students Triple Award Science at GCSE, which includes a trip to the village of Selborne.

A new reception area, drama studio, events hall and library were recently built, all of which were designed to improve the school's facilities; the canteen was also updated, and most classrooms received various renovations.

The school also offeres many residentials, these included the French, Spanish and German exchanges, all organised by the foreign languages department.[citation needed]
