About Poole Grammar School

Gravel Hill, Poole

BH17 9JU
United Kingdom
Poole Grammar School is a boys' 11 to 18 selective Single Academy Trust based on the beautiful south coast of England in Poole, Dorset, with approximately 1,200 students. We have been educating students for more than 120 years and our students continue to achieve outstanding results year on year.
Our successful Sixth Form offers a choice from 25 A level subjects, including a number taught with students from our neighbouring girls' school, Parkstone Grammar.
However, at Poole Grammar, education isn't just about academic achievement; our students benefit from a range of enrichment activities including external trips to support their studies, clubs and societies, drama and musical performances and the opportunity to participate in local and national competitive sport and educational challenges. Our school site has also recently benefited from the addition of a sports arena and climbing wall.
In addition to encouraging our students to embrace their strengths and challenge themselves, our pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do and is organised with the aim of every pupil being known as an individual.
We have a thriving, friendly and supportive staff team and staff welfare is a priority. Employees benefit from:
* Cycle to work scheme
* Free use of school gym
* Free tea and coffee
* Blue Light Card
* Staff badminton club
