Entrance Criteria

School: Parkstone Grammar School


There is one set of selection tests for Bournemouth School, Bournemouth School for Girls, Parkstone Grammar School and Poole Grammar School (the 'Dorset Consortium').  This will save children whose parents wish them to be considered for admission to more than one selective school in the Consortium from taking multiple tests for those schools.   The tests will be taken at the school with whom the parent has registered their child.  All applicants to a Consortium School must complete a Registration Form to be eligible to sit the entrance tests. The Exam is written by GL and involves three papers: English, Maths & Verbal Reasoning.

 School Extracurricular

Students have many opportunities to extend their learning through a rich range of extra-curricular activities. There is a wide range of clubs and societies. These include the Young Enterprise group, Zoology Society, Amnesty International, and The Medical Society. Many of these are run by the Sixth Form for younger pupils. There are extra-curricular experiences for students with focus on the world of business, industry and commerce. The impressive musicals and plays performed by both Poole and Parkstone Grammar Schools bring together a wealth of dramatic and musical talent.

Individual music lessons may be arranged in school and examinations for the Royal College of Music qualifications may be taken. There are many thriving music groups including the orchestra, concert band, flute group, brass group and chamber choir. The students are very proud of their annual charity weeks and special Christmas Party for local senior citizens. All students are involved in The School Council and Executive Board. This plays an important part in the running of the school. The Council’s work reflects the ability of the girls to initiate, communicate and take responsibility. In addition there is a full programme of trips and visits.
