Poole Grammar School is continually developing and does so through a strategic planning process where the Governing Body and Senior leadership team plan on a 10,5,3 year and annual horizons. Hence there is an overall strategic plan which is updated in an ongoing manner as new developments take place at local, national and international levels which may impact on the development of the school. Associated with the planning cycle is an evaluation cycle  which takes place on an annual basis to review the school’s development plan but also using the Ofsted framework we undertake a self evaluation process to understand fully the strengths and areas for development of the school so that we can better plan for improvement the following year.
