Bay House was established as an 11-18 comprehensive school in 1972 on the site of the former Gosport Grammar School. It occupies well-equipped buildings based on the historic Bay House and enjoys an attractive seaside setting with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Why Bay House? The Sixth Form at Bay House is thriving and successful, providing a challenging and supportive learning environment that encourages all students to achieve their very best. We offer a purposeful, structured approach to study in a friendly atmosphere. Student numbers have grown rapidly in the wake of outstanding examination results: the A Level A*-C pass rate was 88% last year, compared to a national figure of 77%. Graded ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2014, we have around 480 students, almost half of whom join us from other schools. ‘‘ I can only describe the teachers and sixth form staff as being “second parents” to me throughout these two years, through their support and encouragement. Zahraa – Cams Hill Approximately 90% of students choose to continue their studies at university, with the overwhelming majority securing a place at their first-choice institution. We encourage students of all abilities to achieve their absolute best, as demonstrated by our exceptional value-added performance which regularly places Bay House Sixth Form in the top 1% of all schools and colleges nationally. Our aim is to provide the highest level of individual support and guidance to all our students, whatever their plans and ambitions. We’re very proud of the fact that many of our students who achieve prestigious university places are the first in their family to enter higher education. Sixth formers leave Bay House with cherished memories and excellent qualifications, well equipped to deal with the challenges of the future. 222
