Job overview
Gosport & Fareham Multi Academy Trust are seeking an innovative PE teacher to join our community. You should be a passionate lifelong learner who is hardworking and enthusiastic with excellent subject knowledge. You will be a motivated individual with a keen interest in encouraging and inspiring students to love learning and excel in your subject area. The successful applicant will be prepared to share their practice with colleagues and fully contribute to our in-house programme of continuing professional development.
The person appointed will be expected to teach across the age and ability range and to play a part, together with other colleagues, in continuing the good work and development of the department. Extracurricular activities are an outstanding feature of the school and the appointee would be expected to play a full and active part in its continued delivery. We would be particularly keen to appoint someone who can offer a broad range of activities, however in-depth knowledge in Rugby would be advantageous.
We would expect the candidate to have the capacity to teach A level PE.
The department facilities include a new 6 court sports hall, Astroturf, gymnasium and extensive outdoor areas including a 4 netball/6 tennis court tarmac area, 5 full-sized football pitches and 2 rugby pitches. In the summer an 8 lane athletics track and numerous rounders and softball/baseball pitches are in use as well as outdoor volleyball courts.
In core PE at both Key Stage 3 and 4, the aim of the department is to deliver high quality PE through a broad, balanced curriculum. This gives all pupils the opportunity to promote their physical competence and development, enhance their aesthetic understanding and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity.
In years 7 and 8 classes are taught in single gender, ability groups. In year 9, to sustain motivation and achievement the curriculum changes in design. Pupils opt for certain pathway of activities depending on their strengths and interests. In Year 11 the core curriculum operates as an elective, option-based programme, whereby pupils are offered a variety of activities at regular intervals in which to choose from.
Pupils are regularly assessed using mastery statements and the results of these summative assessments are used as a basis for setting and reporting. Pupils have the opportunity to study Physical Education as an examination based subject.
Two courses are offered from year 10 onwards, namely the OCR GCSE in Physical Education and the Cambridge National Certificate in Sports Studies. In the sixth form A and AS level PE is offered and the department results are very good. A number of our students go on to study sports related degrees at university. Sport and physical activity remains a key part of sixth form life in the school.
As a department we endeavour to offer a broad and balanced curriculum taking into consideration pupil preference and encouraging interest and participation for the benefit of later life. In 2016 the school was nominated for the TES Healthy School Award and the departments work towards Health and Wellbeing was cited as playing a large part in this success.
We are looking for an outstanding teacher of Physical Education who will strengthen this high performing team. For the right candidate there is scope for a position of leadership helping to develop the department’s curriculum and provision.

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.

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.
