At Poole Grammar School Sixth Form we are focused on helping students achieve the best grades of which they are capable, allowing them to progress to their first choice of next step, whether that is university, apprenticeship, employment or a gap year.

We are an academic sixth form offering 25 A Levels including a number taught with students from Parkstone Grammar School. We provide high quality teaching by experts in their field backed up by dedicated academic support and SEND support.

There are many student leadership opportunities including peer mentoring and prefectship. Students take part in a wide range of sporting and other extra-curricular activities, many contributing points to the annual Gilpin Cup competition. Pastoral support is provided by our experienced sixth form tutor team supported by other professionals within the school. Our full time careers advisor provides expert advice helping students access the best universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) and highly competitive apprenticeships (including with Dyson, The Home Office, and JP Morgan).

Each year, we are able to demonstrate consistently excellent outcomes. In 2023, 40.3% of all grades awarded were A*-A and 66.7% A*-B. 41 students gained at least 3 A or A* grades. Within Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, only independent schools and girls’ schools rank higher than us on the Department of Education school comparison site.
