Bay House School and Sixth Form is a large 11-18 mixed comprehensive school in Gosport, Hampshire. Currently around 2600 pupils and students attend the school; about 380 students are in the Sixth Form.. It was established in 1972 through the amalgamation of Gosport Grammar School and Privett Secondary School. It is a specialist school in maths and computing and has foundation status, having formerly been a grant-maintained school. Sited adjacent to Stokes Bay, part of its premises occupies Bay House, built in 1838 as a seaside villa for Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton. [ [http://www.bayhouse.hants.sch.uk/document_download/Bay%20House%20History.pdf Bay House, A Nobleman's Seaside Residence] , Bay House School website] Bay House itself suffered a major fire in late 1984, the house, a grade II listed building [IoE|408687] , was badly damaged. A major restoration took place restoring the house to the condition we see it in today. The house re-opened to pupils in 1987.

The School has 12 forms of entry; intake is confined to its catchment area, except for those families living outside still able to place their children in the School because of siblings already attending Bay House. Teaching at Bay House is organised through subject Departments and the pastoral system is year-based. Pupils keep the same tutor and head of year throughout Year 7-11, so far as staffing stability allows. There are approximately 230 (full-time equivalent) teaching staff currently in post.
