At Poole High School, over three quarters (77%) of students achieved at least a grade four in both English and maths, with 51% achieving grade 5 or above in the two core subjects. Progress 8 in summer 2023 was 0.72 which places the school in the top 8% for progress nationally.

Poole High School, as the largest school in our selective catchment, prides itself on the fact that all students thrive in a caring and collaborative environment. Our students are well motivated and co-operative, and the team spirit in this large school is second to none. As a values-driven school, our most important purpose is to teach our students things which they would not learn outside of school. We want our students to look back on their time at Poole High School as a place which gave them opportunities for the future and prepared them for the ups and downs of life – a school which valued, inspired, and empowered them.

We have high expectations of our staff, and in return we value them highly. Our systems ensure you can focus on teaching high quality lessons in a sustainable way – unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour. We are proud of our strong learning culture and that learning is sacrosanct in every classroom.

We actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you around the school to enable you to appreciate our excellent learning environment.
