Schools in Gosport
Gosport is a peninsular town on Portsmouth Harbour in Hampshire with 30 state schools - 23 primaries and 3 secondaries - serving a densely populated area bordered by water on three sides. Hampshire County Council coordinates admissions, and the town's geography means the catchment is effectively self-contained with limited cross-borough movement.
All three of Gosport's secondary schools are on the peninsula, so Year 7 applications are handled locally through Hampshire's co-ordinated scheme. Families considering schools in nearby Fareham or Lee-on-the-Solent should check Hampshire's transfer guide for the most recent admissions criteria and distance data.
