AWFUL.
Horrid, i was there from year 7 to 11, i have anxiety and autism, i did not recieve any help, hell they didnt even RECOGNISE i had autism. in year 9 i was off most the year due to bullying i threw up every day before school and stayed off for overall 4 months in total. When i slowly got back into the swing of school i was fully forced into my lessons mid way through the lesson, which was extremely uncomfortable and difficult for me to do due to my anxiety. They helped my friend tho, putting her...

Don’t go to PHS
Worst school ever ! So racist and not diverse at all! The teachers don’t care for bullying and let my kid be called a terrorist and other racial slurs , the school needs to be shut down for the lack of attention towards these poor children !!!!!!!

Poole hIgh school
I have two children at PHS, one is about to go into 6th Form and the other is currently year 9 and both have done extremely well here, they are happy at school, the teachers seem to genuinely want to teach (which is refreshing) yes they are quite strict but with 1,895 kids you have to be in full control! The work ethic is good, the trips are good, they have a breakfast club and after school activities which are free so the school is pretty much open from 7.30-4pm

Good school for my son.
My son currently attends the school and is thriving. Overall he likes his teachers and has a couple of favourites who he will really miss when he no longer has them. He works hard and is recognised for this.

There are better schools
Not the worst school in the area but a lot of things could've been much better. In both secondary school and sixth form there was a lot of bullying going on behind the scenes which the school didn't handle well, including homophobic and racist incidents, and tends to punish students for standing up for themselves in a reasonable way rather than the original perpetrators. Academics-wise, it's decent but doesn't have much support for students with dyslexia, autism, etc. Also virtually no support o...

Best school in Poole
Poole High is really an amazing school. I moved my daughter to this school in year 10 because I had had enough of the inconsistent discipline of her previous school. Since being at Poole High with their amazing structure and their very strong anti bullying principles my daughter has dramatically changed into a person with drive and ambition for her future. I cannot stress how much I love all the teachers and leaders at poole high for what they have given to my daughter and to us as a family because I get a happy teenager at the end of the day. Poole High you are truly amazing. Thank you do much for changing our lives in such a positive way.
