Today, Gomer Junior starts its first day as an Academy within the Gosport and Fareham Multi-Academy Trust (GFM). The GFM is the first localised Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) established in Hampshire. The founding schools of the GFM are Bay House Academy,  Gomer Junior School, LWS Academy.

The GFM is a local solution that aims to provide young people in the local area with the best opportunities in education. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide wider benefits for pupils and staff across all phases of education – Secondary, Primary and SEN. The GFM recognises the need to work in partnership with Hampshire County Council and all local schools to build better outcomes and opportunities for the young people of Gosport and Fareham. It is through our collective endeavor that we can make a difference, with Gosport and Fareham learners’ achievement being greater and aspiring them 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. The appointed members and directors have a clear ambition  and belief in local schools working together for the benefit of all their young people.

We have organised a special day for the children, on Friday, to mark this historic occasion.

Gomer Junior foresee exciting times ahead. Go Gomer!
