Parkstone Grammar School for Girls Sopers Lane, Poole, BH17 7EP Tel : 01202 605605 www.parkstone.poole.sch.uk MESSAGE FROM THE HEADTEACHER The autumn term has been extremely busy and highly enjoyable. The Times list of the top 200 state secondary schools in the country was a particular highlight. Parkstone was recognised as the 61st best school in the country and the best school in Poole, Bournemouth, Dorset and Hampshire as measured by GCSE and A Level results. This is an improvement of 34 places from the previous year and is testament to the ethos and hard work of students, staff and parents. We should all be extremely proud to be part of such a community. We always stress that academic achievement is only part of our work here at Parkstone. We always go the extra mile to support your daughter’s physical and mental well-being, as well as providing excellent opportunities to develop a range of skills and help her grow into a confident and articulate young woman. The content of our autumn newsletter is certainly evidence of this on-going commitment. Highlights this term must include the launch of our school House System. Parkstone has been without houses for several decades and students were very keen to see them return! Following a democratic process students chose Greek Goddesses as their theme and have chosen the names of their houses. We look forward to the rest of the year when students will be voted into positions of responsibility within their houses and compete for the first ever annual House Cup! Audiences on four separate nights were struck speechless by the quality of the performers, musicians, cast and crew in the joint production of Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber with Poole Grammar School. With professional costumes designed and made for us by Bournemouth University the show was of exceptional quality and a huge congratulations must go to all students and staff involved. We opened the doors to our fantastic new Sixth Form Hub just a few weeks ago. This custom designed £1.8 million new building provides outstanding learning facilities for our growing Sixth Form. We will be holding an official opening in the New Year. We have seen a number of trips and visits this term resulting in very memorable experiences. Overseas visits have included Iceland, Berlin and Krakow and Barcelona. Students have also hosted their German exchange partners, competed in a robotics competition, attended Media Studies and Tudor History conferences and visited the Tate gallery. Student events in school have included a Business Game for Year 8 students, the Splendid Theatre Company and charity fundraising weeks. As Christmas approaches we enjoy this festive period as a school community with many activities including our Carol Service, Senior Citizen’s Christmas Party and Christmas lunches. Huge thanks must go to the Parent Staff Association (PSA) who has been very busy organising events to raise money for your daughters. Recent events include the Quiz Night, the Christmas Raffle and the brand-new Christmas Craft Fayre. Please give generously of your time and money to support the PSA – all funds raised contribute to providing opportunities and equipment for your daughters in school. Can I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and wish you and your family and enjoyable festive period and a happy new year.

  • Admission to Year 7 Or Year 9 2021 a Guide for Parents and Carers
    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

The school is rightly proud of the excellent standards achieved by Sixth Formers in Advanced Level examinations and of the very high percentage of students, currently over 97%, who continue to some form of Higher Education. You may be aware that there have been significant changes taking place to A Level qualifications from September 2015. The government has been planning these changes for some time and they impacted on students beginning their A Levels in September 2015 and fully for those students beginning A Levels in September 2017. At Parkstone we have considered these changes very carefully and consulted widely upon their implications. We always embed any curriculum decisions firmly in the principle of the best interests of the students and this is no exception. From September 2015 subjects began to change over to Linear A Level qualifications.
