For oversubscribed schools, the distance of the last child offered a place (measured in miles as a straight line) is shown.

Students will normally be admitted to year 12 at the age of 16. The GFM MAT Board of Trustees is committed to trying to ensure that admission arrangements will not disadvantage either directly or indirectly a student from a particular social, racial or faith group, or a student with disabilities or special educational needs & that other policies do not discourage students, or their carer(s)/parent(s), from applying for a place. Applications for places at Bay House Sixth Form are made directly to the Sixth Form via the link on the website. Normally, only students who meet the general minimum GCSE requirements and the specific requirements for the individual subjects to be studied will be admitted to the Bay House Sixth Form. {refer to FAQ} Priority is given to applicants joining the Sixth Form directly from year 11 at Bay House School. Any student whose Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP) names the Sixth Form will be admitted, so long as the entry requirements and specific subject requirements to be studied are met. Should the number of admissions to year 12 (lower sixth) from students external to Bay House exceed the minimum PAN (Published Admission Numbers) of 150, the following over subscription criteria will be applied to prioritise admissions: a.

    Agenda Item 5 1 HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Decision

    Agenda item 5 HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Decision Report Decision Maker: Executive Lead Member for Children’s Services Date: 6 June 2011 Title: Post-16 education in the Gosport area: Development of a preferred option Reference: 2941 Report From: Director of Children’s Services Contact name: Phillip Walker, County Manager, Post-14 Learning Tel: 01962 845284 Email: [email protected] 1. Executive Summary 1.1. Following approval to undertake a consultation on the future organisation of post-16 education in Gosport (Report reference 1648, 17 November 2010), and responses to that consultation, this report seeks approval to move forward with the process by setting out a number of key principles around which a preferred option for the future organisation of post 16 education may be developed. 1.2. If approved, the County Council will facilitate a project group made up of the key local parties. The project group will be tasked with developing a preferred option around the key principle outline in section 4 by December 2011, with the ambition to commence implementation from April 2012. 1.3. Dependent on the precise nature and scope of the preferred option developed by the project group, further approvals are likely to be required ahead of full implementation, including consideration by independent governing bodies, external bodies and government departments. 1.4 Any resource requirement associated with the preferred option and its implementation, including financial, will need to be fully assessed as part of any subsequent approval process. If approved, the immediate resource requirement, including the facilitation of the proposed project group, would be met from within the department’s existing resources.

  • Steam Through Structure

    Steam Through Structure

    Case study STEAM THROUGH STRUCTURE WITH HAMPSHIRE SECONDARY SCHOOL NETWORK Hampshire Primary STEAM Network THE PROJECT Between January and September 2017, Gosport-based Bridgemary School led a STEAM Network in the area, to build links between the arts and sciences and provide high-quality learning opportunities in the process. Working in partnership with artists local to each school, as well as Winchester Science Centre, the programme explored how collaborative, creative approaches could link and enrich learning across the whole curriculum. As part of this, a CPD programme for teachers and practitioners took place, as well as opportunities for pupils to gain an Arts Award, and support for participating schools to work towards their Artsmark award. An initial Network meeting day at Artswork in Southampton allowed for time to be inspired by the range of partners and resources available to the schools involved. Emma Cairns, Associate Senior Leader and Head of Art and Technology at Bridgemary School filled us in on how the work took shape. At the meet-up, the Network discussed “various means of creating a foundation for the project”, she explains. “We established and shared in planning around the theme of ‘Structures’”. Due to a variety of different needs per school, it was decided that a range of approaches would be taken, with clusters of schools working on different projects together. “For some schools in the Network, a collapsed timetable for a fortnight was the way forward. For others, it was as an after-school activity. For us at Bridgemary,

    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
