Bay House Sixth Form

Headteacher’s Message

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to King’s Academy Bay House and King’s Academy Bay House Sixth Form.

Our commitment is to deliver an exceptional education, driven by our bold mission: to secure ‘Opportunity and Success on a Global Stage‘ for every member of our community. We are dedicated to providing the knowledge, skills, and character development needed to thrive anywhere in the world.

This ambitious mission is built upon the foundation of our three core values: Honesty, Courage, and Faith. These values shape the ethos of happiness, success, and safety that thrives in every corner of our Academy.

Our Values in Action

  • Honesty – We prioritise behaviours that promote transparency and truthfulness, always seeking what is best for all at KABH. We debate ideas openly and are not afraid to recognise mistakes, understanding that they are essential for learning and growth. This culture of open honesty ensures everyone feels happy, successful, and safe, able to express their thoughts and ideas without fear.
  • Courage – We instil the courage needed to face challenges head-on and adapt. This means we embrace diversity and champion inclusivity, creating a truly welcoming place. We demonstrate courage by engaging fully with feedback through resilience and self-regulation, and by being happy to ask questions when we are not sure. This is how we push beyond our perceived limits.
  • Faith – We hold an unwavering belief in the difference we can all make. Faith underpins our culture of safety; we are trusting and respectful to our whole community, making it safe to share concerns and make mistakes. We encourage others through kindness to have faith in their own abilities, knowing that resilience and self-regulation will fuel their curiosity and exploration.

Securing Excellence Together

Excellence at KABH is a journey we embark on together. Our passionate educators provide a challenging and stimulating academic environment, equipping you with the personalised skills necessary to excel academically and in the world beyond these walls.

As the Headteacher, I am excited to lead this journey with you. Together, grounded in Honesty, Courage, and Faith, we continue to drive outstanding Opportunity and Success on a Global Stage for our whole community.

Warm regards,

Chris Willis – Headteacher – King’s Academy Bay House

International Day 2026 – Celebrating Diversity

Last week, our Year 7 students celebrated KABH International Day 2026 – a fantastic opportunity to explore the rich diversity of cultures from around the world. 🌍

Throughout the day, students took part in a wide range of engaging workshops and activities, including:
🇯🇲 Discovering Jamaican culture
🇳🇬 Exploring Nigerian traditions
🇨🇳 Chinese calligraphy
🇸🇦 Arabic calligraphy
🇹🇷 Learning to speak Turkish
🇫🇷 Singing in French
🇹🇹 Exploring Trinidadian culture
🇹🇭 Learning about the important role of elephants in Thai culture
🇲🇽 Designing colourful Lucha Libre masks
🇩🇪 Creating German-inspired paper crafts

We were also delighted to welcome Janet and Pauline from Earth Museum, who led an interactive workshop, The Air We Breathe. Students explored air quality around the world and gained a greater understanding of why it varies between different countries. A huge thank you to Janet and Pauline for sharing their expertise and inspiring our students.

International Day is a wonderful opportunity to broaden horizons, celebrate diversity and encourage curiosity about the wider world. It was fantastic to see our students embracing new cultures, languages and traditions with such enthusiasm.
