Bay House School is proud to be part of the Gosport and Fareham Multi Academy Trust (GFM). The GFM comprises 5 schools; Bay House School, Gomer Junior School, LWS Academy, Brune Park School and Rowner Junior School.

Bay House is at an exciting stage of development and improvement and the school community is growing prouder, more confident and more successful at every stage. We are proud of each of our students and our commitment and drive is for every young person to achieve beyond their expectation and progress to where they previously had not imagined or thought possible.

Bay House School is located in Gosport in the south east county of Hampshire. Gosport is an increasingly popular coastal destination with a strong naval heritage. Gosport benefits from being a stone’s throw from Portsmouth and its many amenities and has excellent transport links. As well as an abundance of picturesque coastal walks and nature reserves on the doorstep, Gosport is home to two parks and accessible to a scenic beach, perfect for outdoors types, runners, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts or families looking for a taste of the great outdoors.


Our mission: 

TO BE GREATER AND TO ASPIRE FURTHER

‘It is our moral accountability to all our learners to raise achievement, close gaps, support wellbeing and develop the range of learning capacities through a principled curriculum which is a sum of all the learners’ experiences. These collective experiences will ensure the sustained growth of an effective ‘Learner Voice’ which encourages contributions from the diversity of our learner population and community that has significant impact and influence on our School.’

In the GFM we recognise that it is through our collective endeavour that we can make a difference, with Gosport and Fareham learners’ achievement being greater and them aspiring further. The local commitment to this initiative is overwhelming; schools and communities see this as an opportunity for a group of schools to become greater than the sum of their parts.

We have been relentless in our drive to ensure we are fully staffed with colleagues passionate to understand how to release and enable a young person to engage with and enjoy their learning. We are working hard to ensure all our staff are highly skilled in understanding learners’ needs including the wide range of behaviours and strategies that enable us to maximise outcomes for our young people.


What does this mean in practice?

It means we take our responsibilities to our learners and their parents very seriously, and work together:

  • To ensure every learner achieves to their very best
  • So no learner is left behind at any stage
  • Doing all we can to make sure every learner has quality learning experiences in and beyond the classroom and that we look after their well being

In partnerships to ensure our school community is the best it can be.


How do we measure our success?

By looking at every learner’s achievement and progress:

  • GCSE results
  • progress made in every subject across different stages of the year
  • how our pupil’s achievement compares to others across the country
  • how well our tutor time supports pupil’s achievement and well being

By looking at the quality of teaching and learning, specifically:

  • how we are developing pupil’s independent learning
  • how well we feedback to our pupils so they know how to improve
  • how good every learning experience is

By looking at how well we use evidence to plan appropriate interventions, use these interventions and then see how successful they are on individuals or groups of learners.

We also look at how we are constantly developing our teachers and support staff in meeting these goals.

GFM Education pursues a policy of equality of opportunity. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups.

Safeguarding statement

GFM Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.

All successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure & Barring Service check along with other relevant employment checks.

A ‘prohibition from teaching’ check will be completed for all shortlisted teaching candidates including those applying for a teaching assistant/Cover Supervisor/Other work deemed directly involved with pupils where it is indicated that they have qualified teacher status or have previously worked as a teacher. We will also carry out an online search as part of due diligence on shortlisted candidates as recommended by KCSiE.

It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position (paid or unpaid) working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from appointment of this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment.
