Head of Finance

King’s Academy Bay House is committed to exceptional education for all students. We are 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.

We are 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.

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.

Safeguarding statement

King's Group Academies are 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.
