Regents Park Community College is a mixed [[Comprehensive School]] in West [[Southampton]], [[Hampshire]], in the south of [[England]].  The most recent [[Ofsted]] inspection was in April 2018 when the inspectors reported that ''"Teaching is characterised by highly effective planning, secure subject knowledge among the teachers, the use of a wide range of teaching strategies and the use of detailed information about pupils." The Ofsted report can be found [https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/23/116450 here]''

Previously, Regents Park had been placed into special measures during the 10–11 July 2013 [[Ofsted]] inspection, after being rated 'inadequate'.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}
