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.

• Professional development that is continuous and based upon national
research schools
• A culture of engaged learners – leaving you free to teach high quality
lessons
• Comprehensive induction process with ongoing support from a
dedicated induction co-ordinator
